    CCleaner Wants to Close Edge


    I'm not using Edge but I am using IE 11.

    Any idea why CCleaner wants to close Edge ever time I run the cleaner??
    If I'm not using it why is it open?

  2. Edge, Page Hijack

    I had the same problem. I force closed Edge. Ran Ccleaner. Problem solved.

    Internet Explorer & MS Edge turning on(and staying on) upon startup by themselves.

    Every time I use my "C Cleaner", when I hit "Run Cleaner" this message pops up. " Microsoft Edge Cache Database and Internet Explorer needs to be closed to clean Internet cache. Do you want CCleaner to close Microsoft Edge Cache Database and Internet Explorer?".
    Does anyone happen to know why they do this, and possibly, how do I stop them from doing this? Any,and all, help would be awesome! Thank You!

    CCleaner Wants to Close Edge

    Really ?
    I use CCleaner regularly. It's the only disk cleaner I use.
    I am using IE11 too, exclusively.
    CCleaner never asks me to close Edge when I run it.

    I was wondering the same thing several months ago and found this on the developers site.

    MrJ Piriform Staff member had this to say

    I think many TenForums users will find that thread a little interesting, The one I found most interesting was this post.
    http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?...41#entry265556

    There is also a checkbox you can click to stop it asking you.

  7. The only reason it asks to close Edge Browser or IE11 is so it can do a proper clean otherwise it will skip several files

    The thread was dated September.
    I wasn't a member until November.
    Probably that's why I did not see that.

    I'm assuming you're using windos 10.
    When I get this message I before I click OK I check Task Manager and I don't see Edge listed.
    Also, I assume I can stop this message by unthinking all the Edge items in ccleaner.

    I don't think you need to do that.
    Notice the screenshot in post #6 ?
    Check the box that says " Do not show me this message again ". I think that will do the trick.

    CCleaner Wants to Close Edge

    Did you read the answer I posted (4) it is not necessarily Edge that is causing that message box, Other programs use the same database as Edge and CCleaner thinks Edge has to be closed to clean up those folders, If it was possible to uninstall Edge you would probably get the same message if other programs are using the database.

    And yes unchecking all the Edge boxes in applications will more than likely get rid of that message

    Ok.
    Sure makes for a lot of confusion.
    Maybe the message should read 'Edge and other programs'

    Thanks to all for the help,
