How do I disable windows explorer closing when removing usb device

If that were all it did that would be acceptable. I understand if I were sitting on the drive it just removed then explorer should go away too. But for me, I can close the explorer that pops up when I insert my USB drive and it will close the OTHER explorer that is open that is on an entirely different drive (NOT the USB drive.) It is NOT limited to the USB drive...it doesn't care....it's going to close an explorer somewhere no matter what. And this is the unacceptable and frustrating part for me. Let me control it. Stop deciding what I want to do.

Any time a window closes unexpectedly, I consider it a CRASH!

I gave up and bought XYplorer.  Double tabbed windows with all sorts of bells and whistles.

MickeySoft can take a flying leap...

No, it's a WTF.

If I want to close explorer I will go to the X in the right corner or pick another action to close it.

If I disconnect a network drive or pull out a device, it should remain open with nothing selected or go to the top of the menu.

Highlight any other drive before ejecting (or just pulling the USB drive out) and it doesn't close. This only happens when the USB is highlighted as File Explorer can no longer see the drive.

Simple answer: click 'Eject' before removing the device.

Just kidding ;-)
