Why are these files appearing in quantity (every 15 minutes), while running Windows 10 home, in my /apps/local/temp folder? They did not appear before the last 3 days ago.

    Thank you Gary B. You nailed it. No more of these mat-debug log files piling up in temp folder. I did find the site to be nirsoft.net not nirsoft.com. When you land on their home page it is loaded with options so I did a search using their search bar for InstalledAppView and downloaded it from the landed page. Smooth download and painless to use. Found Localbridge.exe on the list and deleted it. We are all good now. Thanks again.

    I solved the annoying problem with mat-debug-xxxx.log files for me using the commands:

    Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object {$_.PackageName -Like "Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub"} | ForEach-Object { Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackageName $_.PackageName}

    Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub | Remove-AppxPackage

    See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services

    In my case the files in tmp folder were created by the program:

    C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub_18.2005.1191.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalBridge.exe

    Found by Sysinternals' Procmon.

    Benny, I recommend the nirsoft solution from the post by:

    Seems to do the job with no repercussions.
