On Windows, applications should not be creating folders/files directly in %USERPROFILE%. The proper location for configuration files is %APPDATA%<vendor><product> and the proper location for cache files is %LOCALAPPDATA%\<vendor>\<product>. Things should only be added to %USERPROFILE% if the user explicitly requests it via a save dialog box.
Please move %USERPROFILE%\.librarymanager to %APPDATA%\librarymanager as the default location. The fact that configuration files should go in %APPDATA% is well documented in Microsoft's OS documentation in a number of places as well as MSDN. Also, in Windows folders should not be named with a . prefix as Windows explorer doesn't allow creation of folders with that name which leads to problems.
Should note that the current placement isn't valid on macOS or Linux either. On macOS it should be somewhere under ~/Library, and on Linux it should be in the appropriate XDG directory https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory
