HDS reappears after ejecting USB device

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.

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.

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).

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. :)
