Server Generating Hundreds of .CAB files, Not Sure How TortoiseSVN is Making The Files As It's Not Installed on our Server

I have a Windows 2016 Essentials Server that does not appear to have TortoiseSVN installed, however, it is generating hundreds of .CAB files to the root of the C:\ drive that are referencing TortoiseSVN. When I open up the .CAB files, I can see a CONTENTS file that contains the following text:

"[Version]
Major=3.0
Minor=1011
[Contents]
{40BBDA6A-CFC1-4929-9C06-55DF3CCC56AA}=TortoiseSVN 1.8.12 for Windows (See Notes)
[{40BBDA6A-CFC1-4929-9C06-55DF3CCC56AA}]
{7565CBC8-79A8-499F-84EA-9411E9B1BF4D}=Detect: TortoiseSVN 1.8.12 for Windows (See Notes)"

I am not sure what is generating these files, as they appear to be attempting to automatically update, despite the fact that we do not have this application visibly installed on the server.

The only applications that might have a dependency on an SVN application that I can see might be our Rental Property Management software, Property Boulevard, as it uses a SQL database to run, but so far their support agents have been adamant it isn't an issue with their software.

Has anyone else run into something similar? I'd love to know one way or the other so I can start figuring out how to troubleshoot it to circumvent it from continuing.

TortoiseSVN definitely does not create those files.
But my guess would be a misconfiguration of your group policy to install TSVN via the domain.
