  1. C:\Windows.old -- Why?


    On ‏‎2018-11-06 14:04:52, a new folder: 'C:\Windows.old', appeared.

    I performed a search for "14:04:52" and got a hit in 'C:\Windows\Logs\MoSetup\BlueBox.log'. Here's the pertinent entries:

    2018-11-06 14:04:52: BoxDeletePath: Error deleting path [C:\$Windows.~WS]! Error = 0x80070005
    2018-11-06 14:04:52: BoxDeletePath: Last file path: [C:\$Windows.~WS\Sources\wpx.dll]

    2018-11-06 14:04:52: Failed to move working path: [0x80070005]

    'C:\Windows.old\Cleanup\' has no content.

    I did not reinstall, reset, or refresh Windows.


    What am I to make of this?



    Warm Regards,

    Mark.

    :)
