[BUG]: Eject when finished unmaps SD card entirely in windows #1696

Description

What happened?

Hi! I have been doing some workshops around the world for the past few months and have encountered this problem on 4 different computers and just wanted to raise yalls attention to it.

Sometimes on Windows (my computer was windows 10, but others had windows 11 i think), after the SD card is written and auto-eject is enabled, it doesn't just eject it, it totally unmaps that SD card's drive. Like no other SD cards could i insert into that reader and have them show back up in Windows.

I have to go into the like "volumes and disks" part of windows, find my SD card's disk, and re-assign it a letter to make it behave normally and show back up again.

Not the biggest problem for me, but others had a difficulty and thought you all should be aware. Sorry I don't have more exact details, but I have seen it happen on 4 different windows computers.
