CCleaner may damage or remove third-party software when uninstalled. The company commented on the issue
The CCleaner application, despite its controversy and a number of unfavorable stories for software, remains very popular. However, the other day, the application again became the protagonist of a story that would not benefit him.
A few days ago, a user on a Reddit forum revealed that removing CCleaner from his PC resulted in most of the software being automatically removed or corrupted.
CCleaner 5.91 removed most of my software when I uninstalled CCleaner from Programs and Features in Control Panel.
While uninstalling, I saw in the progress bar that some MSI, Steam and Origin files were being removed, and after it was completed, I saw that Adobe reader, Afterburner, Aida64, Steam, Origin, Discord, HDsentinel and other applications were damaged (not completely removed) . I had to spend another two hours to reinstall them and completely scan my computer for malware
It turned out that this is not some random bug. The fact is that this user had the CCleaner application installed in D: Applications, which also hosted many other programs. The application simply cleared the directory after itself, which was confirmed by the developers.
That CCleaner should remove everything from its installation directory is, under normal circumstances, exactly what you would want CCleaner to do. Not just the files from the original install manifest, but any updates, log files, and so on so that it doesn’t leave any trace behind
The user was not satisfied with the company’s explanation, raising a quite reasonable question as to why CCleaner does not check what exactly it removes.
In any case, the final position of the company is as follows:
The default behavior of CCleaner during installation is to create a new “CCleaner” folder, so at the time of uninstallation, everything in this folder can be deleted without problems. In the case described in this article, the user would have to intentionally bypass this behavior and either choose to install CCleaner in a folder they currently use for other purposes, or later use the “CCleaner” folder for something other than its intended use. . We believe that only a minority of customers will likely be affected by this issue, however we can confirm that we are working on an update that will prevent it from occurring in the future.
That is, the company, on the one hand, says that the user is partially to blame for what happened, and on the other hand, he understands that this should not be so and is already working on solving the problem. In the meantime, if you use CCleaner and would like to remove it, make sure that the application is not adjacent to any others in the folder.

Lenovo’s first AI laptop will be very quiet, but not always. Details about Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024
Lenovo has published a teaser dedicated to its first AI laptop – Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024. One of the main features of the device will be low noise level.
The image shows the cooling system of the Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024. Everything here is pretty standard for a model that does not have a dGPU: two heat pipes and two fans. The creators say that the minimum noise level of the system will be only 17 dBA, and this is really low. But there is a nuance: we are talking about noise at the minimum fan speed in energy saving mode. And although Lenovo says that the laptop’s performance in this mode will be high, it will still be far from what the Core Ultra processor can show in maximum performance mode.
The official premiere of the new product, apparently, will take place this week – immediately after Intel introduces the CPU Core Ultra. Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024 will receive 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, an 84 Wh battery (the predecessor has 75 Wh) and support for 100-watt charging.

The iPhone 16 and Galaxy S24 lines will not receive an increase in RAM compared to their predecessors, despite the hype around AI
Samsung smartphones from the Galaxy S24 line and devices from the iPhone 16 line will likely retain the same RAM options that current models currently have.
Analysts at Mizuho Securities, cited by insider Revegnus, say that the growing demand for AI should, in theory, contribute to the growth of RAM in smartphones. We previously reported that thanks to the emphasis on AI, manufacturers may begin to actively equip their smartphones with 16-24 GB of RAM.
However, a significant increase in memory prices, as well as the still missing scenarios for local AI that will run directly on smartphones, will lead to the fact that next year manufacturers will not actively increase the amount of memory. In particular, Samsung and Apple can leave everything as it is now.
This means that the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will each receive 6 GB of RAM, and the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will each receive 8 GB. Samsung’s new generation flagships will have 8 or 12 GB of RAM.
It is likely that other manufacturers will not rush to increase volumes, and this, in turn, may slow down the development of local AI on smartphones.
