    Today I had a switag file appear on my computer that shows up on every computer that I have bought in the past five years and I would like to know what it is, and why it gets added to every computer I own. The file is "regid.1991-06.com.microsoft_Windows-10-Home-Single-Language.swidtag", and I've read that it is associated with MS Office, but I have never used MS Office. It just seems creepy the way it suddenly appears on my computers like a stalker you cant get rid of, and I am beginning to wonder if it is being used to track me in some way. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated,,,

    :)

    I deleted regid.1991-06.com.microsoft on my other PC, and it boots up to a black screen now. How do I fix this?

    Deleted the entire folder, swidtag and all. Like a ****. I have another laptop with this file on it, and I moved it to a USB key so I could replace it on this other PC. But like I said- it boots to a black screen and I can't see anything or do anything.
    I have an MSI motherboard, I'm not sure how to boot into safemode with a pureblack screen. I can't change to another user because I don't have one. Just this single profile, with the folder deleted. Help!

    C://ProgramData/regid.1991-06.com.microsoft (File path for folder that got deleted).

    Is it safe to delete the empty folder <C:\ProgramData\regid.1991-06.com.microsoft> ?

    Hi,

    Is it safe to delete the empty folder <C:\ProgramData\regid.1991-06.com.microsoft>?

    I just installed win 10 pro and i see this folder in my programData folder. It is empty. I understand it has to do with Windows updates from previous windows versions? Since I used a fresh install, the folder is empty and I would like to delete it. I am
    just not sure if it would cause harm if I did delete it.
