Bug Description
Hello,
I have windows 10 on my pc(Lenovo Z500). Installed yet Inkscape 0.92 and saw some issues on it. Can not use most of Extensions especially under the Modify Path (envelope, perspective etc.) ones. Whenever process them Inkscape stuck on extension window.
After that stuck I had to close Inkscape over Task Manager. However terminate the process of Inkscape it still works background. And uses too much CPU. So I had to terminate Inkscape again again until process closed totally.

I'm afraid this might be a python / python-related issue:
From the looks of it Python tries to compile some files to bytecode (*.pyc) but can't save them due to access problems.
In my own tests I could reproduce the issue when running Inkscape 0.92.0 x64 installed via the exe installer. When running Inkscape from a directory without limited write access the issue does not occur as does running Inkscape with administrative rights (in both cases *.pyc files are created). After running Inkscape with administrative rights once it works without elevation, too.
@San Siro: Do your run Inkscape from "C:\Program Files" (or another location with limited file access?)
