Likewise, ‘Software Updater’ during the scanning process may hang, or complain about connection errors - if the PC is disconnected from the internet, or if user has blocked CCleaner.exe/ CCleaner64.exe from connecting online, eg. > “The tool may hang if you hit the “update all” button without selecting at least one program first.”

Closing WordsĬCleaner Professional's software updater is a useful but limited tool. The application displays a "completed" message in the end and buttons to restart the PC or ignore the restart option for the moment.

The updating happens in CCleaner that is comfortable and probably preferred by the majority of users (Sumo redirects to its own website from where you may download the updates).ĬCleaner Professional does not indicate from where the updates are downloaded, however. There is no option to visit the developer website to find out more about an update, nor are there options to ignore updates or minor updates, include beta versions, or uninstall a program. The only options provided at the time are to select programs and to update the selection.
