I find this a real PITA and a source of frustration. Out of curiosity
does Linux have the same issue, or is it just Windows that makes
things difficult in this regard? If it's something SDR programme
writers can address, and not just that Windows is "broken", I feel it
should be a priority for new programmes to address this.
