I have only one Kobo and i don't use the Kobo Desktop, only Calibre.
I always disconnect the Kobo from the Calibre device option or from the Eject option from Win10.
I was able to reproduce it because i had the problem on my previous setup and i thought that hard reset the device will help.
So i start from a device that was hard reset (no more ebooks on it, no more custom program, the device was "formated") and i then have the same problem on the "new" device.
As stated above, I have no real idea what causes the problem. I know certain ways to cause it a I mentioned. I also know, from heavy use of calibre and the Kobo Utilities plugin, that that is not the cause. If it is happening after a factory reset, then it could be a hardware fault. For the device with an internal SD card, I would suggest changing the card. But, the Libra H2O has fixed internal memory, so that cannot be done.

I mentioned discussion in the Kobo forum about working out the cause. This is inhttps://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=340260. There are suggestions that in that for trying to determine when the corruption happens.
