DISCLAIMER:
Since Mike is been doing his Twitch live streams I noticed various stuff on his computer that give us potential info about past unreleased stuff but also new things, such as new songs, collaborations and more.
All the things related to the Twitch jams will be in their respective sections in Linkinpedia, be sure to check the #ShinodaOnTwitch page.
This thread will be exclusively dedicated to the other stuff we don't know nothing about, so, if you don't want any kind of spoilers, this isn't the thread for you!
Feel free to share your reports from the streams, as well your theories and speculations!
FAVORITES
Matt and Dan files

In the first second of the stream you can see, in Mike's Favorites, the folders "Matt Files" and "Mayo Files" (with the Dropbox icon).
These could be related to the live shows or something more.
Matt was also in the studio recently, I think it would be nice to hear stuff from them with Mike.
Sneaky Devil Project

A folder called "Sneaky Devil Project" in Mike's Favorites.
DESKTOP FILES
Orchestra
We know that Mike recorded in Detroit with the Royal House Recording in 2018 and that wasn't for Clockwatch, so there could be files from that session or something else.
MLN Vox wav
Could this be some vocal recordings for a track called "MLN"?
Make your bets about the actual title.
For JAalon
During the A Thousand Suns style session Mike talked with Jason Aalon Butler, singer of Fever 333, hinting at some collaboration.
I guess that's the case since Jason actually confirmed it during his livestream.
I hope it's not just writing/production and we'll get some new vocals by Mike too.
BREVIN KIM - SHE KILLED ME + HAPPY GUY
MS for BK She Killed Me

Little research here.
There's a duo called Brevin Kim (BK?) who's followed by Mike.
They also commented one of his latest Instagram post and Dave answered too, you can see this here.
On March 31 they posted a video of a new track and at the end of the description there's written *she killed me?* .

The folders "OPEN DOOR Vocals", "For JAalon" and "MS for BK She Killed Me" disappeared, but here's a new .zip file containing vocals for a track called "Let Em In".
It could be a solo song or a collaboration of course, but this is the first time I noticed it, we'll see.
Bear vla Aaron
Source: Let's get weirder! (April 30, 2020) / Screenshot
On May 11 livestream Mike worked to a blackbear song called I'm Still Fucking Here, saying "My guys Aaron and Matt".
He was referring to Aaron Harmon, the producer who also worked on About You and What The Words Meant.
A clip of I'm Still Fucking Here was posted by blackbear on Instagram, he also tagged Mike saying that we wanted to send him the track.
But this folder was on Mike desktop's days before that, so I guess Mike is producing at least two blackbear songs?

The "Grimy Sloppy" I guess it's a tape loop he recorded.
For May 18 and May 21 livestreams Mike used some drum recordings by Dan Mayo, done when he was in Los Angeles last year.
In the May 20 screenshot you can also see a WeTransfer .zip file but I can't read the name because it's covered by Dan's folder.
On May 21 two more recordings with Dan appeared, with Mike actually using "Mayo Channeling A vinyl crackles 122bpm.wav" for the jam of that day.
But here comes the best thing.
In the May 22 screenshot you can clearly see the folders at the bottom.
Yeah, Mike REALLY created two folders named "YES I KNOW" and "YOU CAN SEE MY FOLDERS" LMAO 🤣
There's a third one under those, I guess it's the "continuation", but sadly it's covered by the donations banner.
UPDATE: Donations banner is gone and I can finally reveal the full "message" by Mike:
YES I KNOW
YOU CAN SEE MY FOLDERS
STOP PEEKING
🤣
Talking To Myself Drum Stems

Why he has a folder with drums from Talking To Myself on his desktop?
Working on a remix? Learning drum parts? Ideas for live shows?
FOR S

A folder called "FOR S" is on Mike's desktop. Let's start to speculate about who "S" could be.

Haze / Sneaky Devil
Source: 9.17.21 Friday Freestyle Track (September 17, 2021) / Screenshot
There are three MP3 files: one called "Sneaky Devil faster" with its Ableton project. We previously have seen this title back on November 12, 2020. Another one called "Haze Super Rough 91bpm" and "great arp start", that it's too generic to say if it's part of these demos or a new idea.

Merlyn Vox Project (modified in March 19, 2020)
This is the first 2020 project, before all the ones from the recent livestreams, I guess that's a (working) title for a new track?
High Definition Project
Parzival Project
Aurora Project
Stay Up For Vocals Edits Projects
Parzival, Aurora and Stay Up are probably some other working titles, the first two worked on August 2018.
Stay Up was last modified on April 2015 and it seems it had some vocals too!
Air Force One Project
Two Dee Dee Project
Jelly Project
Loops Play Project
Cool Arp Project
Breakeberter 85 bpm Project (Not sure about this, I can't actually read this one)
Sandile Project
Greninja Battle Project
All of these are dated January 2015.
We all know Air Force One, since it was released on the LPU 16 and it's labeled as a 2015 Demo, I guess that's a confirmation.
No idea about the other titles.
Haunt You - Six Coolde (Not sure about the last word) / IN ON THE TAKE

I don't know what these could be.
COVERS (modified on March 26, 2013)
This could be about artworks more than covers of other songs, who knows.
AVICII 1 Laptop Machine
AVICII 1 Project
AVICII 2 Project
Three Avicii projects dated January 2013.
We talked about Wake Me Up here in the forum days ago and I still don't know if Mike actually did something for it, buthe did something with Avicii for sure.
Bim Bim Bom Project (At least it's what I can read)
Carbine Project
Othere two projects from January 2015.
Blinky Larabee MS Project (modified in November 7, 2013)
Blinky is the working title of Guilty All The Same, so we have now a little indication of a period when they worked on it.
Burberry Project (modified in May 8, 2013)
We know the debate about this track since it was released on the LPU 16 mislabed as a 2015 demo and it was already released via Stagelight in 2012.
At least now we know that Mike opened the folder in 2013 too 😂
Easy Beats Project
flees Project
Humming Project
Three more unknown projects from 2013.

Drive Me Mad Remix 2
Drive Me Mad Remix
Mike rivisited old CoronaJams and we can see that he updated a few names, giving us some working titles (and potential final titles) for these tracks, but also three projects about a "Drive Me Mad" remix.
In Mike's Spotify playlist there's a track called I Drive Me Mad by renforshort, a Canadian artist, Mike also follows her on Instagram.
I guess we can expect something about this.

WARRIORS DRUM Shinkansen
We know that Shinkansen was originally a Living Things beat that Mike re-used for World's On Fire.
Could be Warriors a new track?

VIOLENT ENOUGH
Before the July 27 stream Mike was working in Ableton on a project called "Violent Enough".
AL

Found a potential new song, from two Ableton files, AL 1 Project.als and AL MS Sketch 1 acapella.mp3, dated August 14 and 15.
DD aaron.mp3

"Aaron" could be Aaron Harmon, so this could be another blackbear related track, even if we don't know anything new about "Bear vla Aaron" and "I'm Still Fucking Here".
I don't think Mike just misspelled "Aalon" as Jason Aalon Butler (another collab we still don't know anything else), so... any guesses?

2.16 Producing Bella Goldwin's "Just A Dream" (February 16, 2021) / Screenshot
Mike had an open folder containing Ableton files. We can see a project called "OSC vox manipulation" and a folder called "O Song 1".
There's also his project for the "Passenger" remix, called "MS PASSENGER RMX" along with the folder "DEFTONES PASSENGER".
The last folder is called "El Little Idiot 110bpm", that we already saw as a Pro Tools project during the June 8, 2020 stream.

KNOWN SAMPLES
It was funny to notice how some of Mike's folders are the same ones we got from the leak of the past summer.
I was like "Oh, I shouldn't have this stuff" 😂
When he selected his sounds I've noticed folders like: ALBUM4SNDS, ARCHBSHOP (he actually used the Sound 1 and 7 for the ATS style demo), ATARI, Dist MS 20 Key, GB Sounds, KeroDrums, LOOSESAMPLES, RYGAR, Xero Current, also sounds like Rick Rubin's 808, NRG Phone and BJORKICK.
ENJOY THE SILENCE REMIX
On April 10, Mike did another quick stream. This is the original link, but he deleted it and I think a lot of you guys could have missed it, so I'm adding this one too.
Someone in the chat asked who played the drums for the Enjoy The Silence remix, and he said: "They are VST drums, synth drums. I made them. I played them with the keyboard".
I always thought that it was Rob who played the drums, so now what?
