When it comes to cleaning up Windows, CCleaner has always been the name everyone knows. But the new CCleaner 7 has arrived, and loyal users are staring at their screens in disbelief. The sleek new design is there, sure, but so is a mysterious shortage of features.

A Fresh Look That Feels a Bit Too... Fresh

CCleaner's developers are proud to announce a modern, responsive interface. Translation: they added a Dark Mode and moved all the buttons so you can''t find anything.

It looks stylish, yes. But while you are admiring the new rounded corners, you might notice your beloved cleaning tools have quietly disappeared.

The New Features

• Visual Overhaul: The same cleaner, now with a blue glow and mood lighting.

• Uninstaller 2.0: You can now remove multiple apps at once- Plus, there os a temporary uninstall feature, because nothing says innovation like uninstalling something halfway.

• Disk Analyzer: Fancy thumbnails of the files you are about to delete. Because who does't love a farewell slideshow before cleaning up space?

The Disappearing Act

Long-time fans are feeling the pain: gone are the detailed registry tools, the disk wiper, Smart Cleaning, scheduling, and even the humble option to export settings. The left-side menu looks fuller - but don't be fooled. It is just the same stuff shuffled around like socks in a drawer.

Meet the Alternative: UpdateStar AppCleaner

While CCleaner 7 is busy reinventing itself, UpdateStar AppCleaner quietly does what users actually want - clean, optimize, and remove junk without drama.

It is lightweight, effective, and refreshingly simple. No bloated interface, no missing features, no snake oil. Just pure, efficient Windows cleaning. Think of it as CCleaner before the fame.
