Files ID'd as "temp"

by KNRover Jun 20, 2018 6:04PM PDT

Why does Auslogics Disk Defrag identify so many (e.g., over 10,000) files as "temp"? Virtually all of them are in the Software Distribution folder and contain "amd64\" in the filename. Also strange is that within a few minutes of using the computer FOLLOWING just having deleted all these temp file, if I run Disk Defrag again, it again finds thousands more temp files. Am using Win 10.

2. Next, turn off and then back on System Restore.
