Hi Nigel
It may be the Edge browser in your Windows 10 causing that even if you do not use Edge, open Edge, go to Settings - About Edge and perform an update from there, that will hopefully stop the generation of that file . . .

There are random debug notes on my pc containting:
ERROR:viz_main_impl.cc(229)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization
Can someone help me out what variables I should try to rule this out?
In the past I disabled c-states in the bios as I had issues with getting BSOD when pc was on idle. But now after a while I have this debug notes could it be related? Or likely something else?

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Wraith Boxed
MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX
Gigabyte geforce gtx 1650
NZXT H510

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .
This was a known bug in all the Chromium based browsers (Edge, Chrome, Brave . . etc), rest assured, that file is no harm, it is not malware, and does not indicate a problem with your hardware or drivers, it just contains debug information from your web browser
While this was a major bug a while back, the browser developers did seem to have patched this bug, make sure whatever browser you use is fully up to date, or possibly re-install the browser . . .
