Windows 10: UkLog.dat.old ??

A couple of weeks ago, I notice this .dat file on my C:\ drive. Does anyone know what UkLog.dat.old belongs to and whether it can be deleted without causing my pc/a program problems? I have Windows 10 v 1803.

Disable WebCacheV01.dat


Hi all, especially Sujay I hope.

I have just updated Windows 10 to the Aniversary version.
I have followed all the steps set out by Sujay to eliminate Windows – Continuous Disk Write + WebCacheV01.dat + V01.log – Issue

I have disabled “CacheTask“. To find this, open Task Scheduler from Administrative Tools, navigate to Microsoft > Windows > Wininet.
And I have eliminated the GUID
{3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}

But I still have WebCacheV01.dat in this folder: C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache

And this file is 26MB and always come up when I run CCleaner.
Any help would be much appreciated to totally eliminate this.

Oh, one other thing, if I open REGEDIT and search for the GUID
{3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}
I only find it in:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{0358b920-0ac7-461f-98f4-58e32cd89148}
Predetermined Type REG_SZ Data Wininit Cache Task Object
AppID Type REG_SZ {3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}


I would be gratefull for any help possible

 

Remove old fingerprint/face from deleted account

Hi,

Windows is specifically configured to keep Windows Hello biometric data secure and hard to tamper with. The data is kept locally on the device and in the event that the associated account is deleted, we suggest using a different finger to setup Windows Hello
again. Just to confirm, have you already tried using the fingerprint from a different finger?

In case you're still unable to set up Windows Hello using a different fingerprint, follow these steps to delete the data:

• Click Start.
• Type Services and select it from the list of results.
• Right-click the Windows Biometrics Service from the list and click
  Stop.
• Open File Explorer.
• Navigate to this location: C:\Windows\System32\WinBioDatabase.
• Delete all the .DAT files in the folder. If you can't see anything in the folder, click the
  View tab in File Explorer and check Hidden Items.
• After deleting the .DAT files, try setting up Windows Hello again.

Let us know if you're able to setup Windows Hello after following these steps.
