How to keep Norton Utilities Ultimate from deleting my saved scanner profiles?

Note: Please do not post Personally Identifiable Information like email address, personal phone number, physical home address, product key etc.

Issue abstract :Norton Utilities Ultimate deletes my saved Windows scanner profiles whenever I run Auto Clean.

Detailed description: Using the “Windows Fax and Scan” app that comes with Windows 11, it allows you to save profiles for various type of scans–color docs, flatbed scans, document feeder scans, etc. These are saved in C:%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\UserScanProfiles as HTML files that begin with “SCANPROFILE”. If you have multiple saved profiles, they get saved with a number after the name, e.g. “SCANPROFILE(1).HTML”. Unfortunately, these get deleted by Norton Utilities Ultimate as part of the cleanup process, and I have not found a setting in NUU by which to exclude them. Please assist!

Product & version number: Norton Utilities Ultimate version 26.1, Build 18342

OS details: Windows 11 Pro 25H2, build 26200.7623

What is the error message you are seeing? No error message; NUU just deletes files that I do not want it to delete!

If you have any supporting screenshots, please add them: N/A

Thanks,

Andy

jeg har meldt fejlen så måske kommer der noget ved jeg noget siger jeg til men du har smidt den forkert så jeg så den først nu

From the Norton Utilities Ultimate, NUU, screen click on the Clean Junk icon on the left, then in the System Junk tab scroll down to the Program cache files and Program temp files. Check each of those by clicking on the right arrow on the right side. Then scroll down the list of cache files until you find ones for your scanner. If you find it, click the blue box beside that to remove the checkmark. Clicking Got it at the bottom will now no longer clean those files.
