Windows 10 Persistent New Folder on desktop

[Monse53]

When I turn on my PC, there is an empty folder named 'New Folder' on the desktop. I delete it, do my work, then shut down the PC. Next time I start up, the folder is there again. I have no clue where it comes from, but I am geting paranoid. Hard to google 'New Folder', so I wonder if anyone have had the same experience? Or has an idea how to approach it? One workaround is to create an empty read-only hidden file on the desktop named 'New Folder'. But that is really no solution, it just hides the problem.

Download and run procmon, enable boot logging then reboot. Once you're logged back in rerun procmon to stop the logging. You should be able to look at the log and see what is creating the folder.

Thanks a lot! It turned out to be 'Solarwind TFTP Server' - a long forgotten app that I once tried out.
