Ask HN: What is in this Windows Explorer URL

1 pointsby tug0fwarover 4 years ago
In Windows 10 (Version: 1909, OS build: 18363.1316), listed under &#x27;Quick access&#x27; is this &#x27;Scans&#x27; directory created by Windows. Once inside, clicking on the address bar shows this string:<p>&#x27;C:\Users\Username\Pictures\Microsoft.WindowsScan_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App\Scans&#x27;

Looks like a potential malware artifact.
