about temp folder

Hi Hector,

The temp folder provides work space for programs. Yes they can be deleted. We suggest that you follow the steps provided by Sangeeta Sarkar on how to delete Temp files on this

link. You may also type in the search box Disk Cleanup and hit enter. It will evaluate your disk and give you a list of folders sizes that can be deleted.

Keep us updated on the status of the issue. We will be glad to assist you further.

Regards.

 

Unknown folders in Windows/Temp

Hi,

Does anyone know what are those empty folders in Windows/Temp, if and how can stop it?



They came with 1809 upgrade (same on clean install), usually after about 20min of every restart.




This is what I see (in Event Viewer), always at the time of folders appearance.
There is no such a file (Microsoft-Desktop-Provisioning-Sequence.dat) in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Provisioning folder.

Note: Disabling "Use sign-in info to automatically...." in Account settings > Sign-in options, does not help. Same for SFCscannow & DISMrestorehealth.

THX!

---Update---

SOLUTION :
Open Task Scheduler, go to Microsoft/Windows/Manangement/Provisioning and disable Logon task.

Unknown folders in Windows/Temp

I can confirm this. Have exactly the same unknown folders with correspondent records in event logs. W10 Pro 1809 17763.195

It only appears after logon + idle time. It caused by "%systemRoot%\system32\ProvTool.exe" (there is task in task scheduler)
