I have no idea why this happens, but according to my windows event viewer, XYplorer.exe would delete my files in D:// by the name when i reboot/shutdown the computer.

Take a look at your task scheduler?

im not sure what should i look for, but there's a scheduled task that i set to start XYplorer at system startup. except thet there's nothing related to XYplorer.

btw, im not sure if this is related, i have installed Automation Workshop yesterday to build some auto-actions like monitor file changing in a folder in E:/, and i also set a XYplorer start task like i did in task scheduler (since that is not working accoring to my observation).

Take your XYplorer.ini, copy it, rename it to XYplorer.xys and attach it to your next post

got it.
im doubt that this is not directly caused by xyplorer, maybe it recieved some instructions sent by other applications, or even maleware, so if there's something like logs that i could find may help. however i have no idea where i could find it.

That file is clean, apart from loading (I guess) my Update.xys file on startup is does nothing suspicious...

I didn't change any settings of xyplorer for a while, and this problem begins today, so I'm pretty sure XYplorer is innocent. what should I look for next?
