    AppX filling up temp file!

    Hi, readers,

    My wife and I both have an SP4, and suddenly, both computers sort of stopped working. The first sign of an issue was that Firefox came with the message that there was not enough disk space to install an update.

    I quickly found that \Windows\Temp was almost completely filled with
    AppXDeploymentServer_*, AppxErrorReport_* en AppXPackaging_* files. However, after deleting them permanently the Temp folder beame rapidly populated again with the same file families.

    I searched for a method to solve the issue on answers.microsoft.com, found this very page, and followed the suggestions by
    Roshan V S. But the AppX* files kept coming.

    I then opened an AppxErrorReport_ file and started a Google search on a string copied from the first line, i.e. “Package full name = Microsoft.SurfaceHub_”. Google found the following page:

    Category » Windows Patches/Security « @ AskWoody

    I didn’t know AskWoody and usually don’t visit sites with a funny name and an outdated interface, but I was a bit desperate as system resets came nearby. I thus executed the suggestion by AskWoody, and it worked. The
    continuing emergence of AppX* files stopped immediately.

    As said, I removed the 23 apps suggested by Roshan V S at the top of the page before executing the suggestion by AskWoody. On my wife’s SP4 I only removed the *surface* app suggested by AskWoody, and the continuing emergence of AppX* files stopped
    immediately.

    I wonder, what caused the erroneous file generation that practically shut our SP4’s down? And why does AskWoody help me out and
    answers.microsoft.com not? The suggestions by the latter only cost me many extra hours to undo the damage.

    We bought MS computers not only because we liked them, but also because we thought MS hardware works best with MS software. Last days it wasn’t, which seriously disappoints.

    appx*****.tmp files won't delete in Windows\temp (Windows 10)

    Hi all. Suddenly, beginning October 22 2015, I got a batch of files called appx*******.tmp files in my Windows\Temp folder. When I try to clean out this folder, I get a message that the files are in use. Why?

    Appx deployment service seems to be running, in windows services, but I seem unable to stop it. Why is it constantly running, starting on October 22? I just figured out how to delete the Seaport nuisance constantly running, and now this.

    Anyone have an idea what's going on? Thanks!

    AppX filling up temp file!

    What does Microsoft say about the problem of AppX error/service filling up a Temp file and that even if you delete it they start again? It uses up computer memory.....!!! Thank you.
