After that XnView MP stopped working. Had to re-install it as even a reboot did not solve the problem.

Went back and checked everything i did.

So: if you use Ccleaner and want to be able to keep using XnView MP... DO NOT check this option:
cleaner > Applications > (Windows) Session Manager.

Removing this single tick also solved several problems i was having since this morning of which i did not know the causes. Including computer-stopping bugs when using chrome at 100% processor use.

So, what's the point of that last post?

Is there some specifiic issue with people running v4.18 or older versions?
The current version is 5.30.

Also, to bdragon,
I've been running CCleaner for many years and don't remember a Session Manager setting.
is that something new to v5.30 (I'm using 5.28)? Do you mean MS Management console?

Thanks
