    Hi ddrkitten, welcome to 7F! :)

    It's probably related to this: MS Update 3033929 Causing Reboot Loop...
    Reboot loop problem being reported by lot of users turns out to be problem with dual-boot & Grub bootloader:

    KB3033929 fails to install and cause a minor "infinite" loop - Microsoft Community(see michaelp52 reply)

    CCleaner recently included some sort of resident monitoring function.

    You can disable it in the Monitoring tab (Options > Monitoring).

    As I said, I disabled everything except disk wiping and I still had to close a CCleaner process in Task Manager. It also inserted itself in the start menu and I had to remove that. It's like a bloody virus!

    I never had these issues.
    I've been using the portable version for a while now...

    In the Microsoft Community quite a few are saying it's the windows disc cleanup utility that is causing a few of the latest updates to keep coming up for reinstall.

    It has been brought to MS's attention and supposedly they are working on a fix.

    Yeah i know but some maybe blaming CCleaner for what windows update cleanup is responsible for. I never had issues with CCleaner portable either.

    Ok, understood thanks !

    fwiw, i only run CCleaner file cleanup and it's never caused me problems.
    Yes, I have cleaned files i wish i had kept, but it was my choice to delete those files.
    So, there is a learning curve with CCleaner, and everything else.

    I have run the Registry tool to see what it shows, but i don't run it to do a "cleanup".
    I just see what it reports, and if i see something i feel is "wrong", i work on it...and manually clean it if need be.

    I don't run WU Cleanup unless I can get a LOT of space recovered...
    So I may run it 1-2 times per year.

    When it was first released i could recover up to 10GB space, so i used it.
    Now, i only see a few hundred MB to be cleaned, and that's not worth it to me ...

    By Windows Update cleanup are you talking about the standard Windows Disk Cleanup. I use Disk cleanup maybe once every few weeks.
