Windows 10: Capture0.png

Hi,


I found a PNG file named Capture0 in my "recent files" list on my lap top. It was a screen shot of an open spreadsheet in Excel and I never took the screenshot.

The file location is:

C:\Users\my username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub_[extended file name with numbers and letters]


I then searched for Capture0 within the path C:\Users\my username\AppData\Local and found several other screen shots of Excel screens going back to 2017 none of which I took.

Why are screenshots being taken, mainly of excel screens, without my knowledge and how are the used? Who has had access to them?

Thanks

:)

Is This Malware? (Unauthorized Screen Shot Saved to Feedback Hub Folder)

Hello,

This morning, I noticed an unknown PNG file in my "recent files" list on my lap top (I have an HP Spectre running windows 10). The file was titled "Capture0" and it had been saved to the "AppData" folder for the Window's 10 Feedback Hub app. The exact file
location was:

C:\Users\[my username]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub_[extended file name gibberish]

This makes me nervous for several reasons.

First, because it was a screen shot of a tab in a specific excel file, which listed all of my usernames and passwords (yes, I know this is not the brightest way to track my passwords).

Second, because I can't seem to find any evidence that I accidentally took the screen shot myself (e.g. I can find no preset quick key configuration that would automatically save a screen shot to the folder listed above).

Third, because I had neither accessed nor used the Feedback Hub app prior to seeing this file.

Finally, because I had neither used quick keys for generating and saving screen shots, nor altered any quick key presets in windows before.

That being said, I realize I may have somehow managed to accidentally do this myself. This is the only unknown file (let alone screen shot) that I have seen pop up in my laptop's "recent files" list.

Also, the screen shot did include what appears to be an overlay of some quick key commands for excel, as circled (in red) in the below image (I removed the image of the content of the excel window prior to posting here):





Would anyone be able to tell me if I'm freaking out over nothing here? To your knowledge, is there some way I may have accidentally fat-fingured a quick key that would both generate a screen shot and save it to a "Feedback Hub" app folder?
