I have tried to find, what the %SYSTEMDRIVE%\PerfLogs directory is used for. I could only find answers, each differing and none of them have citations.
Since answers, what give file examples on what files are there are in sub-directories, I suspect that there are more undocumented uses for the folder.
I'm looking for an all-inclusive answer on what files may end up in the folder by the Windows 10 system.
