    Windows 8 stalls at 50% when using disc c cleanup
    Under the General tab in Local Disc C Properties I use cleanup. And occasionally I also defrag and error check on the Tools tab. With a relatively new HP laptop with Windows 8 OS, the "cleanup" option stalls around 50% in its process. I've used this tool for years on other PCs but I've never had this issues since Windows 8 has entered my lifestyle
    Any solutions to this "cleanup" problem is very much appreciated. Wisdom is a gift and it gets better when you share! Thanks.

    I'm not sure about this one.

    I would start by disabling all start-up programs because the can interfere with the process.
    To do this press and hold (Crrl+Alt+Del) for the task manager.
    Go to the start-up tab and disable all the programs from starting. You can reverse this process at anytime. Restart and try run the cleanup again.

    That's all I can think of at the moment.

    Hope this helps
