Windows 10: Random Video test_hardware_encoder.mp4

Hello, today a random video appeared on my computer that I never downloaded, it was named as "test_hardware_encoder.mp4", I don't know how it got there, and when I went to open the video, there was nothing, it seems like it was a corrupted file or something. Could you explain to me what it is?

MP4 Repair

I gave that program a try last night and it said my corrupted file wasn't the right format..... Although all gopro files are mp4 and the videos before and after were just fine haha. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'll try it again using a bunch of different reference videos and see if that fixes it.
