@sunil maddheshi 

it comes from this playbook "Major Incident Process", You can see after Resolve step, it's creating Problem Record

In the Step 8 it calls this "Major Incident Playbook - Create a Problem from Incident" subflow

This subflow calls another flow action "Create Problem Record from Incident" where the problem is created

1) Subflow

2) Action

1) either deactivate that subflow

OR

2) Remove that Step 8, remember you will have to update the playbook in the correct scope
