    Hi William,

    You may disable the debugger application by editing the Windows registry. Here's how:

    1. Press the Windows + R keys from the keyboard to launch the Run dialog box.
    2. Type regedit, then press the Enter key to launch the registry editor application window.
    3. Use this registry search function to find the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug.
    4. Delete the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug.
    5. Reboot the PC. The system debugger should now be disabled.

    Let us know if you have further queries.

    Regards.

    Hi William, that folder holds Debug logs from different processes on your System

    If it is only 8mb I would not worry too much about it.

    You can if you like safely delete everything in that folder at any time without any adverse effect on your system!

    Do you know of any way to disable the debug function temporarily? When I am downloading and playing music, I get "sound burps" when debug is running.  Thanks!
