Hi LuZhao4
I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .
Is that Debug file on your Desktop, and do you use the Chrome browser?
That file is known to be caused by Chrome, it is some sort of a bug, and Google support say the best way to stop the Chrome browser creating that file is to totally uninstall and re-install the Chrome browser, make sure to backup your favorites before you do that, just in case . . .
Beware of companies telling you that the answer is to uninstall the competitor's product.
This is a MASSIVE problem for users and is all over Internet forums. Given the times, Microsoft should elevate this issue with the highest priority.
I've just had one of these pop up, in a folder that was open in Windows Explorer. Chrome not installed on affected machine, just Chromium-based Edge (which was also open at the time). No error or warning in Event Viewer or Reliability Monitor. Seems like this needs a fix!
After a day the debug file popped up again [1012/122031.136:ERROR:directory_reader_win.cc(43)] FindFirstFile: The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3)
