So as I predicted vanguard is not supposed to be doing that
. I
'm so unsure if vanguard itself is creating that file
. Because the original creation of the file was invoked by explorer
. And it
's not uncommon for Vanguard to scan newly created files
.
S
Saucy
•
8/12/24, 6:36 PM
You could try uninstalling and reinstalling Vanguard

8/12/24, 6:54 PM
As I have tested my computer and it is not having the same issue
S
Saucy

8/12/24, 6:55 PM
And I have also looked online and I can
't find anyone having the same problem or at least finding a solution for the problem
