VS Code Keeps producing debug.log

Question

My VS Code suddenly started to produce a file called debug.log littering everywhere in my project directory. An example content is:

[0922/113308.083:ERROR:registration_protocol_win.cc(103)] CreateFile: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)
[0922/113308.120:ERROR:registration_protocol_win.cc(103)] CreateFile: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)
[0922/113345.228:ERROR:registration_protocol_win.cc(103)] CreateFile: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)
[0922/113345.241:ERROR:registration_protocol_win.cc(103)] CreateFile: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)

What is causing this? How do I turn this off?
