For whatever reason, Cura (even when it's not doing anything and is sitting idle in the background) relentlessly tries to create a file in the C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\namespace\RT-N56U.
Directory C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\namespace does exist but RT-N56U folder does not. \\RT-N56U\TwoTB also happens to be a share that I am accessing (mapped to the Z:\ drive).
Why does Cura need to create a file there? And it does so relentlessly, over and over again. My computer physically slows down because of it and File/Open operation on Cura is so slow (probably because of this).
Why does Cura relentlessly try to create a file in a directory that does not exist?

The implementation has some issues:
I did this several years ago to detect insertion/removal of USB headphones and the method was pretty reliable. I would contribute the code but it was in C#
