I keep getting numerous amc****.tmp.LOG1, amc****.tmp.LOG2 and
amc****.tmp files in my C:\Users\(user account name)\AppData\Local\Temp
folder. Does anybody know what's causing this? They seem to be about 8kb
in size, each of them. I'm running W10 Pro, fully updated.

TIA.

We know the LOG1 and LOG2 extensions imply journaled content.
The .tmp is apparently a registry hive.

UPDATE:

Problem reoccurred, so I opted to disable "geolocation.dll" entirely.

Problem went away.

To reverse this if needed - enable inheritance > ok. then reboot.

Thanks very much, Paul.

PS. Should have mentioned that I carefully read the pages at the link
you provided. That discussion is dated back to 2018. Hope it still holds
true.
