This update resolves an issue where temporary scan folders (WAAPI*) in C:\Windows\Temp could be left behind if no user was logged in when a scan completed.

Fixes

• Temporary folder cleanup issue resolved – Fixed a bug where WAAPI* folders created in C:\Windows\Temp directory during software detection scans were not always removed if no active user session was logged on at scan completion.

Improvements

• Automatic cleanup of existing temporary folders – The scanner now removes any previously orphaned WAAPI* folders in C:\Windows\Temp during subsequent scheduled scans, including those created prior to this update, even if no user is logged on to the device.

How the Scanner Uses Temporary Folders

During a scan, the software-scanner.exe:

• Creates temporary WAAPI* folders in C:\Windows\Temp
• Uses these folders to store scan signature and processing data
• Deletes them automatically once the scan completes

These folders:

• Do not contain persistent or customer data
• Are only used during active scans
• Can be safely deleted manually if present on disk

Customer Impact

• Prevents accumulation of temporary folders in C:\Windows\Temp
• Reduces disk clutter on systems where scans run without logged-in users
• Improves consistency of scanner cleanup behavior
