Try a clean boot and observe any changes—follow the instructions carefully. Ensure no Microsoft services are disabled or Windows won’t load properly. This method doesn’t remove files, just halts non-Microsoft programs at startup. If it resolves the issue, it likely points to a startup program. You may need to restart stopped applications one by one to identify the culprit. It could be related to an Xbox game bar.
It seems to display cached thumbnails, icons, and image files rather than actual screenshots. You might be searching across multiple directories or including unrelated folders in your scan. The dates listed in the upper left indicate files spanning approximately five years.
