    Hi,

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

    They come on 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.
    Disabling "Use sign-in info to automatically...." in Account settings > Sign-in options, does not help.

    THX!

    :)

    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.

    %temp% folder access

    I get it - you're typing %temp% in the Start menu search box. Yeah, you should see a result for the %temp% "File folder", but easier still is using the Run dialog instead (Win+R), or typing %temp% directly in File Explorer's address bar.
