Shmoe Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 A few years ago I wrote programs in AutoIT V3/SCITE to automate cleaning my pc using the free programs CCleaner, Defraggler and Malwarybytes' Anti-Malware. Piriform has updated CCleaner to where I can no longer access controls to Fix (All) Issue(s) in a child window with no window title and no underlined control in the window to do a "&F" to say "Fix Issue" or whatever the control might be. I am using AutoITWindow Info as I used to do to find control IDs, Titles, Instances, etc with ControlCommand and lately ControlClick embedded in "ControlCommand(IsEnabled=1" embedded in an IF..Endif. I don't know if I am doing something stupid or I need to upgrade the V3.X to newer or what. This worked fine for a few years and now CCleaner hits a brick wall. Defraggler and Malwarebytes code still work like they used to. I could use some help because this used to work well and kept my pc running pretty fast. Thank You.

TheDcoder Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Not a direct answer to your problem, but I recommend using an open-source program called BleachBit instead of CCleaner, it has the same functionality but it's all open source and free without adware and spyware. BleachBit even has a command-line interface that you can use directly in your script to do the cleaning, entirely skipping the window automation part.

Nine Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 As for your original request, crystal ball says you probably upgraded to the latest version of CCleaner and it is using the newer version of Windows GUI. You would need to use UIAutomation to interact with it. “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Screen Scraping Multi-Threading Made Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshine Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) I don’t even know why you run that in the first place. All of my computers are super fast and I never run any of that stuff. And worst case it can actually break your windows installation In any case you will have to use UI automation or choose a different tool Edited February 26, 2022 by Earthshine TheDcoder 1 My resources are limited.

Shmoe Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 Yeah right. This was a waste of time. Thanks to Nine for the explanation. My OS has been running fine since I started using this, so it's not breaking anything Earthshine. Keep your comments to yourself since you have nothing to offer.
