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.

Performance Logs

PerfLogs (Performance Logs) is a Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 system generated folder, that stores a log file of system issues and other performance-related reports.

See This And Others using "PerfLogs" in a search at Microsoft.com

When you are prompted to specify the location to save the performance data, you can accept the default location (%systemdrive%\PerfLogs\Admin\<data_collector_set>, and then click Next.
