Only run it when I have problems, so maybe once or twice a year.

I ran it right after the download. I didn't time it very closely but seems like it ran 15-20 minutes. I rebooted, which seemed to take a bit longer than usual. No matter, I can't tell a bit of difference in performance since. It told me it "fixed" stuff, but I don't know what.

Since I removed CCleaner from the laptop years ago, no such program has been near it. I was at least expecting a noticeable, even tiny perhaps, increase is performance. Not so.

Don't think I'll put it on my desktop unless you can give me a valid reason. Thanks for all you do around here, in spite of a serious health condition.

Got it! Thanks for putting me onto it. Whatever it did on the laptop probably was needed, even though I have no idea what that might have been.

I use Outlook as a default email app inside of a Chrome browser.

Recently when I click on an email message they are opening in a new window rather than inside the browser (replacing the list of email mssages).

In trying to correct this issue, all the online instructions say "Go to Outlook.com settings". Instructions on where to find "Outlook.com settings" tell me where they are when using an Outlook app rather than a browser based version of outlook.

Any suggestion for where - in a browser based useage of Outlook - I can find my "Outlook settings"? I want to set it to NOT open a new window when I open an email message.

Thanks for any tips......
