"Unexplained Creation of Random Profile.tmp File on Desktop"

I've been encountering this issue for a while now. Every time I use my laptop connected to my desktop, I notice a profile.tmp file appears. I'm not certain about the cause, but after some investigation, it seems Valorant might be responsible. I'm unsure about how to address this. I'm hesitant to delete the file because it usually doesn't solve the issue, and I'm worried deleting it may lead to Valorant crashing, as it has in the past. I plan to reach out to Riot Support for assistance, but I could use some guidance on how to identify the exact source of this file. I've assumed it's related to Riot Games, but I want to confirm this. Thank you in advance for any help!

    Check the source script/malware → delete the file → lock the permissions. If it still doesn't work, reset the user configuration.
