Windows 10: IDC Debug

Hello,


Recently my Office Word starts but shuts down after a while again and I lose the document I was working on. Meanwhile a document appeared on my desktop, called IDC_debug_log and it asks me to send it as an attachment to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.


I have no clue what this is or what it does and I'm a bit worried that it might activate ransomware if I do as requested. In all my years of using Windows and Office I never had this.


Can anyone explain to me what this textfile is and what I should do with it?


Kind regards,

:)

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.

Hi Alex,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Let me help you.



I suggest you to follow the below procedure and check if it helps.

Just-In-Time debugging is a feature that launches the Visual Studio debugger automatically when a program, running outside Visual Studio, encounters a fatal error. Just-In-Time debugging allows you to examine the error
before the application is terminated by the operating system. The Visual Studio debugger does not need to be running when the error occurs.



To enable/disable Just-In-Time debugging

In Visual Studio,

• 
  On the Tools menu, click Options.
  
• 
  In the Options dialog box, select the Debugging folder.
  
• 
  In the Debugging folder, select the Just-In-Time page.
  
• 
  In the Enable Just-In-Time debugging of these types of code box, select or clear the relevant program types: Managed, Native, or Script.
  

To disable Just-In-Time debugging, once it has been enabled, you must be running with Administrator privileges. Enabling Just-In-Time debugging sets a registry key, and Administrator privileges are
required to change that key.

• 
  Click OK.
