Weird file named Ya gets created every startup- I think related to visual studio... What is it and How do I stop this from happening?

Essentially, the title of the post but to be more specific here's an overview of what happens.

Every time I start my computer, after I log in a file that windows does not know what to use to open gets created-- it pops up the "open this file with" select program dialog. The file is called "Ya".

This file contains the text in the code block or very similar every time. (in the code block i've redacted stuff that looks like it may be registration keys in case that's what they are)

If I open the file in Visual Studio or Atom or any text editor it just shows what looks like is a log file.

I have no idea what it is, but I'm assuming it's visual studio / visual studio code related because it contains a bunch of stuff called like VC_redist.x64.exe

So firstly... does anyone have any idea what this might be, what process is creating it, and how do I either prevent that process from running or at least stop it from showing me this file on boot? It's annoying and a little unnerving.

It looks like you're using the following command-line to install the VC Redist bundle:

VC_redist.x64.exe /q /norestart /log C:\Users\Ya Boy Andwee\AppData\Local\Temp\dd_setup_20220216165950_443_Microsoft.VisualCpp.Redist.14.Latest.log

Notice that the parameter to the the -log switch is not quoted. Therefore, a log file is being created with the name C:\Users\Ya (with no file extension) and the following are also passed as parameters to the VC redist and probably ignored:

  1. Boy
  2. Andwee\AppData\Local\Temp\dd_setup_20220216165950_443_Microsoft.VisualCpp.Redist.14.Latest.log

Try the following command-line instead (note the quotes):

VC_redist.x64.exe /q /norestart /log "C:\Users\Ya Boy Andwee\AppData\Local\Temp\dd_setup_20220216165950_443_Microsoft.VisualCpp.Redist.14.Latest.log"

This is the best solution that I found, though simply deleting the file will also help solve the issue in the short-term. I am unsure if the PC regenerates it down the line.

But most importantly, you may need log files later on down the line working with your machine. The file just seems like an incorrectly named log file. It is harmless to your machine, but the unexpected startup behavior may be worrying.
