Windows 10: why does debug.log appear repeatedly on my Desktop?

Why does debug.log appear repeatedly on my Desktop? What does the debug.log do and why does it appear on my Computer?

GPU Cache and debug log folders appear on desktop after installing Intuit Turbotax Standard 2019

After installing Turbotax Standard 2019 using the installation CD, two folders have appeared on my desktop, one called GPU cache and the other is a debug log.

The debug log seems to hold items pertaining to each failed attempt to register the product with the manufacturer.

At this point I have uninstalled the Turbotax program but the folders remain. I have contacted Intuit Turbotax for help, but all they have said is that they are aware of problems registering their product
(do it later) and to reinstall with a link that they provide. They have not provided any help in regard to the two folders on the destop. Other people who have responded on my post on Intuit say
they have spoken with their help desk and are being told that the GPU Cache and debug log folder problem has to do with their computer rather than with the Turbotax program.

After uninstalling the Turbotax program, I also did a system restore to an earlier date in hopes that it would get rid of the two folders on the desktop but it did not.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this before I attempt to re-install the Turbotax program. (I really don't even know what those two folders are for and if they are a problem or not.)
Thank you for your help with this.

 

getting recurring debug log

I agree. This first appeared after I installed Quicken Delux on a clean laptop.

 

Ethernet is showing as Kernel Debug Network Adapater

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you see Kernel Debug Network Adapter in Device Manager. This can happen if debugging is turner on. I would suggest you to turn off debugging by following the steps mentioned below:

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Paste the following commands and hit Enter:
   
   bcdedit /debug off
   

If you still see the Network Adapter, you can disable it from Device Manager without problems. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, to open
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Network adapters.
   
3. Now, right click on the Kernel Debug adapter and select
   Disable device.
   

Let us know how it goes.
