I saw you are interesting in the BPC mystery...
We are working with HP in connection of QA and support (there is some connection to ISO 9xxx)... So, they installed some HP tool on all computers (all HP) and that installation created a machine level environment entry named 'Platform' with the value 'BPC' (no idea what it is)...
Now it is - of course - totally undocumented, but MSBuild will look for that variable if none defined on any higher level (command-line or project file of any kind)...
I'm no QA or support so dumped the HP tool...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

So it was you!!!
Yes - they used HP Easy Setup to install the tool...
Skipper: We'll fix it.

From where that f*** BPC folder comes from suddenly?!?

This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.

Oh, sorry - I thought we were in QA ...

Very similar, but I understand electronic birds and bees are involved.

Ah so that's where the term to 'root your device' comes from.

But nowadays when very few machines have joysticks, and even fewer have floppy slots, how to they do it then?
|
|
|
|

Using their hard drives, of course!

Oh shorry!
I think that's because my EVE Online application is saving my BPC (BluePrintCopy) Overview Folder randomly on the interwebs accessible machines...

Wow! Another EVE player! When I saw BPC, that was the first thing I thought of. Been playing since 2009.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

That's not Windows 10; you must be running something else.

Is this a work machine? If so, then the Z: drive is probably a global shared network drive and your machine's start-up scripts keeps creating the connection - reason why it won't go away.
Just a thought.
By the way, Windows 10 does not come with a Z: drive out of the box - as others have pointed out.
