In Windows 10 (Version: 1909, OS build: 18363.1316), listed under 'Quick access' is this 'Scans' directory created by Windows. Once inside, clicking on the address bar shows this string:

'C:\Users\Username\Pictures\Microsoft.WindowsScan_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App\Scans'

Looks like a potential malware artifact.
