No HDD Spindown because of MediaMonkey

Hello,

I want to use the energyoptions of Windows 2012 Server and configured a spindown of my second HDD after 30 mintues.

I noticed, that the HDD dosen't spindown and runs 24/7.

With the tool "Process Monitor" I checked the I/O of partition D:\, where the Music-Libray is located.
After that I noticed, that MediaMonkey is contacting the Partition D:\ every minute:

This happens, although I don't play any content. I only started the mediamonkey.exe.

Why MediaMonkey contact every minute and how can I stop that?
