My cleanmgr.exe has all of a sudden decided to just hang
after the first two minutes of operation. It shows itself
taking 90-100% of the CPU usage, but doesn't do anything.
Any suggestions? BTW, it hangs during Compressed File
check.
 
When you run the Disk Cleanup utility, the program may stop responding
(hang) while scanning for compressed files.

CAUSE
This issue occurs when there is an incorrect entry in the registry that is
used by the Disk Cleanup utility to locate compressed files..
