No problem with following up. That is what the forum is for.
I use an internal drive for the location of m virtual device, so haven't experienced problems with it being re-detected. But if you have a problem with that, check that Windows is detecting the USB drive in a timely manner. Sometimes USB devices take a little wile to be detected. But if it appears in Windows Explorer, it should appear in MC.
The last thread I linked to gets in pretty deep on how Handhelds work. A bit heavy. But it helps to understand.
Unfortunately I can't change the description of the forum items, as I'm just a user like you. I am on the Beta Team, but that is all. However, I'm pretty sure someone will notice your comment and fix it, just as they noticed your post was in the MC23 forum and moved it.
Public releases of MC23 have been very stable. Us Beta users see a few more releases, and the occasional problem, but they are fixed quickly and don't usually get into the public releases. I think the upgrade is worth it, because TV functionality is still being improved, and I value that.
Enjoy!
