Hello everyone,
Can't really say if this is a bug, but it's a minor annoyance.
1. Insert a USB stick
2. Open Hard Disk Sentinel (I double-click on the tray icon to get a maximized HDS window)
3. On the top-left buttons, click on the inserted USB drive to view its info.
4. Close the HDS window (via the top-right X button).
5. Eject the USB drive
The Hard Disk Sentinel window will now reappear on its own.

Re: HDS reappears after ejecting USB device
Not really bug and I wonder what may happen....
Just tried to reproduce on different systems (XP-Win7-Win10-Win11) did not see similar: if the window closed, then (of course) it does not re-appear when the USB drive disconnected (or re-connected).
Can you please use Report menu -> Send test report to developer option?
It may give some ideas, details about the actual situation.

Re: HDS reappears after ejecting USB device
Thank you, I just sent a report.
I can always reproduce it on my 3 PCs. All latest Windows 10 x64 version, all old devices (10+ years) both laptop/desktop. Occurring on USB 3.0 and USB 2.0.

Thanks!
But I do not really see USB device in the report.
Not really sure if related to the USB device/drive (maybe), Windows, language or anything else....
Generally should cause no problems - but can be annoying, so will investigate later on multiple systems, with different external drives and check if it's possible to avoid (if caused by Windows or so).

Re: HDS reappears after ejecting USB device
Just sent two more reports, with devices connected. No, it doesn't cause any problems. It's just happening for so long (years) that I thought it was time to report it.
