Thanks everyone (callender, dencal, theveterans) for all of the suggestions.

I will work my way backwards starting with callender's suggestions and then work onto dencal's and the veterans...

Thanks guys.

Callender: I think I have the most recent drivers
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/98911/Intel-Iris-Plus-Graphics-640: Version: 15.65.4.494
Also most recent surface firmware...

Thanks Callender. I did do this already.

Is there anyway to see what the most recent version of the graphics driver?
I have an Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640
and the driver is,
Version:...

another explorer crash:
Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

Just curious has anyone seen anything like this ever?

Thanks Callender! That mainly seems to be about another cause, and I have already uninstalled DropBox a few weeks back since I thought that was the problem (it was not). I have also not installed...

Each time I am getting this the Hello Windows startup is a bit slow, it says something like get...

Another crash in the meanwhile: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

It always happens when coming out of hibernation (or formerly sleep) when on...

Thanks for the response.

I have had my surface since August, so I am out of technical support but still under warranty (well I assume so, I purchased it on Amazon). If I sent it back I would get a...

Just a small update: here is a new explorer crash dump. As I said, I get about three days between them roughly. I have not gotten any responses on this, but perhaps a mod could chime in on this?

Sorry should have added:
I have updated my Intel graphics card and firmware (see p2 of the answers.microsoft.com post above)

Hi:

I have periodic explorer crashes on my Surface Pro 2017, Win Pro x64 (it is fully updated; sfc /scannow does not reveal any integrity errors). The crash seems to occur periodically about...

If there was a way to change where "opened" files are cached in Firefox and other programs I agree that would solve the problem (e.g. I could just tell them to put them somewhere else like...

- no Ccleaner
- task scheduler: see below. No obvious culprit but thanks for the suggestion
- I mean I open a file via firefox: when you do so it leaves a copy in %temp% (in firefox btw I have...

yep... if you scroll down to TEMP folder it is unchecked168342

looks identical to what you posted

zbook when I open DiskClean I do not have options like you said. I get this:
168335

On the next screen "Temporary Files" (which is the folder I am interested in) is unchecked.

Thanks EyeInTheSky: that is exactly the kind of suggestion I was looking for!

Alas I have already turned off Storage Sense so that is not the source of deletions on my PC

Again, I am not looking for additional ways to clean things!!!

I would like to know what process is doing the deleting. If it is not too much to ask, if people could address that I would...

OK this is odd then. I never once had Windows 7 clear out this folder on multiple computers..

Now I have two Windows 10's (a surface and a Dell inspiron laptop) and it does it on both. So I am...

Would it be possible to address what I asked? I want to know what process is doing this.

I literally have never have had this happen on a Windows PC before, and if the OS is going about deleting...

Thanks for the responses.

But I was not interested in *how* I should be using folders I am asking *why* this is happening. What specifically is causing Windows to delete certain files in this...

Thanks Samuria.

I mean this folder: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp

Hi:

New user here. Hopefully a very basic question. Windows 10 periodically seems to be going into my %temp% folder and deleting files (not all but many). I do not want this to occur: I am glad to...
