Hi, I just had this update to Win10, only 5 hours downloading, for this latet feature update.
I can see quite a few changes, but the first thing I noticed was that CCleaner has been deleted, everything else seems to be working fine though. Has anyone else found this or know any reason why?
 
Microsoft would do this if it finds incompatible.
Do a normal install of ccleaner and see if it works.
There are some software and hardware that won't work.
If you notice more issues like that.

Revert back to your previous version of Windows 10.
Microsoft gives you a grace period of 30 days.
Stop the windows update service set it to manual.
Disable the Windows inside service that will stop it from restarting windows update.

I went through that problem a few days ago.
Beware some anti-virus utility suites kick on Windows update.
Configure them carefully in the advanced settings.

Capture25.JPG Hi One reason why CCleaner may have been deleted is that they joined Avast anti-virus. They try to install ii on your PC if you aren't careful and uncheck it. That maybe one reason? If you reinstall CCleaner, make sure you uncheck Avast.;)

Hi, Thanks for the replies. I did D/L CCleaner again, installs and runs fine.
After using the 'fall creator' update for a while, I also noticed that the 'videos' folder has been moved from the file explorer, left hand column, is now in 'This PC'.
On my installation, the PC does boot up to the desktop faster than before the update, just a couple of seconds, after login screen.
