Sometimes can't write to disk in Windows 10 or 11

Hello Alex,
Long time fan of this project. Love the interface and features of this software. Thank you for making it available to the community and supporting it. Sometimes I can't write an image to a sd card without first opening Windows Explorer, navigating to a partition on the sd card, then navigating out of the partition then close windows explorer. Sometimes this works but sometimes I have to completely restart Windows 11 for it to be able to write an image to the sd card. I've attached an image of the error I usually get that causes me to have to take these steps. I've tried another sd card imaging solution that does not exhibit this issue on my computer workstation. I'd rather use USB IT though as it fits my workflow so much better. Hoping you or someone else in the community can shed some light on why this issue occurs and how I can resolve or mitigate it without the extra steps I currently take. I should also add this usually happens with sd cards that have multiple partitions on them. I do use Device mode for writing them.
