In looking into C:\ProgramData I see a folder "regid.1991-06.com.microsoft" and I wonder what it could be for
it contains a file "SWIDTAG"

and here is what it says

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<software_identification_tag xmlns="https://standards.iso.org/iso/19770/-2/2009/schema.xsd">

Hello
ProgramData is one of the hidden elements, so uncheck the box and don't touch those files if you don't know their purpose


don't delete anything ^^
it's not a virus, don't worry :-)
I'm not going to go into detail, it's just some tags with a bit of software information.
if you're looking to know everything your operating system contains, you won't be sleeping anytime soon :-)

Alright, happy surfing, and please mark your post as resolved ^^
