    Hi,

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

    They came 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!
