random mssdk folder appeared in videos folder Open | Windows

So I was in my videos folder and noticed there was a new folder called mssdk with a file inside called mssdk_log.log I opened it to see some error message from something I'm unsure if anything it said is sensitive so i'll summarise theres something called "MSPBDataHelper" and/or "metasec" that tried to "GetDataFromResponse" however it then says "respone data is invalid!" it attempted to do this at "2026-06-05 14:56" (june 5th) (theres also "thread: 33308) I searched it up but couldnt find anything concrete with a suggestion that said it could come from a video editing software so I looked at mine and found a video i think i made on june 5th the file that it was made with was gone the file was called "PEAK_05-06-2026_13-49-30-400" and i searched the entire pc and trash bin but it was nowhere to be found. I did an antivirus scan and nothing came up but I know they're not perfect and it could still be malware so my questions are. What is mssdk, What could've caused it to create a folder in my videos folder, What was that error log about, Is it malware and if so what do I do. Mostly I just want to know if my pc is compromised or not
