Once in a while my USB thumbdrive does not show up. It does not happen too often and my workaround is to temporarily use Windows Explorer.

Are you fully exiting Opus before relaunching it, or just closing all the windows?

I have this sort of thing happen intermittently - yet still pretty often. It's an irritation for sure... but I've not reported it before since it has seemed like it wasn't necessarily "just" an Opus issue.
