Hi, My HDD seems to be constantly being accessed when Cortex is running. I can hear it make a very faint click sound every 10 seconds or so. Shutting down Cortex makes it stop. Why would Cortex need to be keeping my HDD live all the time? How can I stop this from happening, aside from uninstalling Cortex?

the same problem, every 10 seconds the hard disk makes a sound. And in Process Monitor you can see that cortex is constantly accessing the hard disk
