What causes default_error_stack-205698-00000.txt files to be created in Windows\System32

Hi, I took over a server at a client site, actually it's Windows 10 home, I was going through things and noticed they had 200,000 files in Windows\System32\ with the following name
default_error_stack-205698-00000.txt the last part started with 000001-00000 then got up to that number.

Funny thing is the last one was from Jan 14th, I also was scratching my head because the task scheduler stopped running on the same day.

Question, what generates that file name? Should I be conserned?

It’s drivers error as mentioned, just take a look at the error file.
