       I spent 6 hours today figuring out that the Intel Driver & Support Assistant V3.0.0.9 has created ~1.6 million files called 'default_error_stack-x-y.txt' in the C:\Windows\System32 directory causing the computer to take 7 minutes to boot up.😫

       @penguin42  I noticed I never really saw the Windows logo. It just said Lenovo for 7 minutes before I got the windows login screen. I found a post saying to check for C:\Windows\System32\Resources\bla.dll.  When I opened the System32 directory Explorer loaded very slow and said there were 1M+ files in the directory. Removing the files fixed it but they kept coming back. By looking at the contents of the files and doing some web searches I fould the cause.
