Control Panel bug managing card device (remove, insert)

Hi,
I used a SD Card on my laptop for cache. My card reader will hide itself if no card is inserted (some card readers function like a DVD drive where it is still there when the card is removed).
The screenshot below shows the normal operating view on my system.
When I remove the SD card, the control panel show as below (which is normal)
Then I inserted other SD card (which is not used for caching) and the view does not change. The control panel is still operating correctly. Now, when I remove the 2nd SD card and reinsert the one with cache enabled, the control panel shows as below,

Driver developers told me reported that this is a Windows glitch.
It sometimes does not delete/remove the device from the list of available devices (I mean low-level device list that is used by eBoostr.) This “ghost” device disappears after some timeout (10-20 minutes).

Ok. Anyway just letting you know that the same thing happen for flash drive if you follow the steps below:
1) Set up everything properly.
2) Open Computer Management
3) Go to Storage Management
4) Remove Drive Letter for Flash drive that is used for caching. Windows will state that it is being used. Continue anyway.
5) Unplug Flash drive from PC
6) Plug back the Flash drive
7) The EBoostr Control Panel will now show 2 of the same devices. Will only go away after a windows restart.
