    Why is my cleaner no longer working after an update

    Aspects of my computer's interface no longer work following the use of CC Cleaner, Eusing Registry Cleaner and SpyBot

    Hi Windows Community,

    I updated my PC from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 on the free update scheme. I've been using Windows 10 without issue since then. Yesterday, on the recommendations of family members who also use Windows 10, I downloaded and ran three programs. These were -

    • Eusing Free Registry Cleaner
    • CC Cleaner (free version)
    • SpyBot Search & Destroy (free version)
    I have used all these programs before, both on my current computer when it ran Windows 8 and on previous computers. I've never encountered any issues in the past. However, following the sequential use of these programs my computer suddenly initiated a restart,
    and when it came back up parts of the interface no longer worked.

    • Firstly, parts of the task-bar no longer respond. This is particularly apparent with the system icons in the right-hand corner of the task-bar. For instance, prior to my use of these programs if I left-clicked on the battery icon a little pop-up appeared
      which allowed me to quickly turn on power-saver mode and/or adjust my screen brightness. Now when I click on the icon, nothing happens though it is highlighted when the cursor is hovered over it. The same is true of the notifications icon, despite the fact
      that it keeps telling me that I have new notification. When I left-click on the up-arrow icon to reveal the other system icons, these are also unresponsive. This makes it very time consuming to do things like adjust the volume, select a wireless network to
      connect to, or to turn on flight mode.
    • Secondly, when I right-click on the start-menu button in the left-hand corner of the task-bar, the normal PC-management interface comes up (Programs and Features, Mobility Centre, System, Device Manager, Run, etc.) but when I left-click on the 'Search'
      option, nothing happens. Like the system icons, the 'Search' option is still highlighted when the cursor hovers over it.
    My best guess is that either the Registry cleaner or CC Cleaner deleted the whole, or part of, a driver or temporary file which was integral to running these features. I'm not certain how this would have happened, since they are intended to clean up extraneous
    temp files and streamline the PC's running, but it's possible that they're still being reworked for Windows 10 and one of them has a bug. As for potential fixes -

    • I cannot do a system restore since until now I was unaware that in Windows 10 this feature needed to be enabled. Because of this, I have no restore point to use.
    • I have already run System File Checker in Command Prompt (Admin) several times, including directly before and after a restart, but it can't find anything.
    • I have also tried to run the DSIM tool, butit reached 5.2% then produces an error message. I'm currently running it again, and it's managed to get to 7.8%, so I'm hopeful that it might finish.

    I would very much like to hear people's thoughts on this. I think I'll probably have to reinstall Windows 10, but any other suggestion are very welcome. Thanks in advance,

    R
