GPU-Z is making these weird files every time I launch it

[theinteluserwhocould]

Hi,

I installed GPU-Z on this PC and these .toc files are being created every time I launch GPU-Z or press OK in the settings menu in the app.

Opening up the files themselves, the only relevant information I can find is "DXDC" and "gpuquery_external.exe" which I am not sure what the first one is nor am I able to find the executable that the latter is referring to.

Is there any way I can fix this? This has never happened on any other computer where I've installed GPU-Z.

Thanks.

I'm not seeing those in the same directory as GPU-Z on my daily-driver build.

Thanks. I initially thought my operating system had corrupted itself after clean installing it just a few days ago, but of course it's NVIDIA with their horrible QA lately. Installing older drivers ASAP.

Did you use DDU? That's highly recommended. I suspect Windows Update interfered. You need to block Windows Update from installing drivers.

Just to clarify, GPU-Z does not create the .toc files. GPU-Z does create gpuquery_external.exe (and cleans it up when done)
