If you scheduled cleaning is
not working properly, recheck your settings or do it again..
Follow these steps to activate
scheduled cleaning :
Open up the Task Scheduler
application by searching for it in the Start menu/screen.
- After the Task Scheduler is opened, select the option “Task Scheduler Library” on the right pane and then select the option “Create Basic Task” on the left pane.
- The above step will open up the basic “Task Wizard” window. Here enter a name and description of your choice in the respective fields and click on the “Next” button.
- In this window, select the frequency for the task to start. Ideally you can select “Weekly” as the “Daily” option is often unnecessary and is a bit aggressive. Once you are done selecting the frequency, click on the “Next” button.
- Here select the time, date and day of the week and click on the “Next” button to continue
- Now you need to select a program to run at the scheduled time. To do that, select the option “Start a Program” and click on the next button.
- Here in this window, click on the “Browse” button and select the CCleaner executable located in the “Program Files” folder in the C drive. If you are on a 64-bit architect, select the 64-bit version of the executable. Now in the “Add arguments” field, add / auto and click on the “Next” button to continue.
- After this , the Task Scheduler will show the summary of the created task. Just verify the task once and click on the “Finish” button to complete the process.
At this point, you are done
configuring CCleaner to run at a scheduled time. But CCleaner sometimes needs
elevated privileges, and it may cause an issue if you don’t provide them in
advance. To enable elevated privileges, find and right click on the task we
just created and select the option “Properties” from the list.
The above action will open the
task properties window. Here in the “General” tab, select the option “Run with
highest privileges” and click on the “Ok” button to save the changes. Of
course, if you wish you can further customize the task properties like power
options, run times, etc.
