devcon.exe -- what is it? (Maschine Studio Driver\Helper\)

Fortect says it's a pua and puts it in quarantine. Found in C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Maschine Studio Driver\Helper\devcon.exe

Really?

Quote Microsoft : DevCon is a command-line tool that displays detailed information about devices, and lets you search for and manipulate devices from the command line. DevCon enables, disables, installs, configures, and removes devices on the local computer and displays detailed information about devices on local and remote computers.

If you are worried about the devcon.exe then upload it for analysis at www.virustotal.com

Otherwise you will have to discuss it with Fortect or alternatively report it to them as a false positive if it is one !

Yes, had a look myself and it seemed harmless. I asked since it was residing in a NI app.
