Windows 10: Debug.txt on desktop

I turned on my computer one time, and suddenly I got a debug.txt file on my desktop with the following text:


[1010/193655.954:ERROR:settings.cc430] Settings version is not 5

[1010/194817.397:ERROR:directory_reader_win.cc43] FindFirstFile: The system cannot find the path specified. 0x3




I make restore points every few days, but can someone tell me how to fix this issue? I didn't get a blue screen, and I experienced this on my Surface Laptop 3. Please help!

Ethernet is showing as Kernel Debug Network Adapater

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you see Kernel Debug Network Adapter in Device Manager. This can happen if debugging is turner on. I would suggest you to turn off debugging by following the steps mentioned below:

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Paste the following commands and hit Enter:
   
   bcdedit /debug off
   

If you still see the Network Adapter, you can disable it from Device Manager without problems. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, to open
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Network adapters.
   
3. Now, right click on the Kernel Debug adapter and select
   Disable device.
   

Let us know how it goes.

debug

Hello,

It seems that the debug file on your desktop is created when your device did its weekly cleanup process. To isolate the issue, we would like you to answer the following questions:

• Are you using a 3rd party app to schedule the clean up?
• Is this the first time that the debug file shows on your desktop?
• Do you have a 3rd party app or a plugin for instant messaging service?

Looking forward to your response.

 

.txt file called "debug" is popping on desktop

Hi Zaklin

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

Do you use the Chrome Browser?

If so, that Debug file with that content, is known to be created on your Desktop by Chrome, you should completely uninstall Chrome, then restart (not shut down) your PC and then download and install the latest version of Chrome . . .
