    Resolved


    The cause is probably clear to me, it was CCleaner. After restarting the computer, this file appeared "without name, without extension, without anything" completely empty,, I couldn't move it in the folders nor delete it because it always reappeared. I solved it in a simple way: Desktop >> Locate the suspicious file >> click "Delete" >> Go to task manager >> Restart explorer >> Solved. Even updating the desktop does not reappear. Now I just have to check if this is true even after rebooting, I'll let you know

    Even after restarting the pc, the file does not show up again, I would say it is a definitive solution

    Fix using CCleaner


    Use CCleaner's Registry Cleaner function to fix it.
