Please advise.

Hi @Mark Marco,

Please check whether there is any ·{1aa410b3-fc9c-4b29-8e0d-84542b53e7f6}· folder in the path C:\ProgramData\Package Cache ?

After investigating the issue, I've found that if you use a tool to clean up your disk recently, there is a chance that you will empty the contents of this folder, which will cause this error. Here's the result of my test, and it's the same as yours.

So we have to uninstall it manually in Control Pannel -> Program -> Programs and Features.

Hello @Anonymous

Thank you for your response.

I just checked C:\ProgramData\Package Cache location but there is no {1aa410b3-fc9c-4b29-8e0d-84542b53e7f6} folder.

I personally didn't clear the package cache. Is there a way to check if the package cache was cleared recently?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi @Mark Marco,

After my attempt, I couldn't find the deletion record of the file. However, we can enable Audit Policy on Folder in EventViewer, and future changes to the folder will be recorded.

You can check whether the third-party optimization software is installed, and it is possible that the third-party software has performed this operation to free up disk space.

In addition, if there is a Windows update recently, it may also cause the loss of some cache files.

So, I'd like to know your specific needs, such as a script to check if the cache file exists before executing it to avoid this error.

Best Regards
