I couldn't find something about it so far. As i tried to get rid of things waking my discs all the time galaxy came up in procmon.
It tries to create a file at D:\a01\_work\2\s\binaries\x86ret\bin\i386\msvcp140.i386.pdb about 350 times every hour. Thing is that this drive is for data only. No games, no programs and nothing game related is there and no directory structure like that. Therefore it fails and repeats.
My guess is that some annoying installer just tried to throw it's stuff on some random drive, messed up and didn't clean up the command queue.
Before i contact the official support i thought asking the community might help and saves some support time for other problems.
Question 1: How do i stop or fix this? Any kind of file where tasks to be done are stored where i could just delete it?
Question 2 (Bonus): How did this happen in the first place? I know some microsoft installer just throw their stuff on the drive with the most free space and sometimes 'forget' to clean up afterwards. But this is and was never the largest drive or the one with the most space. In fact it's the slowest, oldest drive in the computer and the smallest hdd. The last place where anyone should dump temporary data.
As an Example an event from procmon in csv:
"Time of Day","Process Name","PID","Operation","Path","Result","Detail","Command Line"
"17:39:17,9925664","GalaxyClient.exe","12112","CreateFile","D:\a01\_work\2\s\binaries\x86ret\bin\i386\msvcp140 .i386.pdb","PATH NOT FOUND","Desired Access: Read Attributes, Write Attributes, Synchronize, Disposition: Open, Options: Synchronous IO Non-Alert, Non-Directory File, Attributes: N, ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete, AllocationSize: n/a","""C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\GalaxyClient.exe"" "
