Question What is "ppsdk_windows_trace txt" ?

I keep getting two files appearing in my Documents folder and no matter how many times i delete them they keep coming back.

"ppsdk" - Post Processing Software Developers Kit.

Appears that Steam and some game is involved.

My suggestion is to delete the files again. Contingent on the understanding that deleting the files has done no harm thus far -correct?

Once the files are deleted leave the Documents folder open and work through the games you play and other things that you routinely do.

Go one-by-one, step-by-step.

Watch for when the .txt files reappear.

FYI (you can google for additional information as you wish and require.

Any Beta software? Add-ons etc. ?

Key is to discover what app is generating and saving the .txt files.
