This occurred on 5.40 & 5.41. It happens when I plug in my android tablet to transfer books, but doesn't affect the actual transferring of books. Tablet is an Asus Zenbook 7" on Android 7 connecting to Windows 10. The laptop is an HP Envy 17, with an i7 processor from 2016. It's only occurred on 5.4 and 5.41, and didn't happen on earlier versions.

Here's the error info:
