- Generic: Fix for a possible crash during content estimate calculation when device is disconnected
Important notes:
- Note! There are plenty of different USB cables on markets. Some of those are not working correctly with all devices. This could cause unexpected connection lost issues with devices during the switch operations. In these cases you could try with another USB cable if available. You can contact our support team to get more information about recommended USB cables.
- Note! There are also plenty of different USB hubs on markets. Some of those are not as reliable as others. If you are experiencing problems with device connectivity and you are using USB hub, try again without USB hub or with another USB hub. Also remember to connect USB hub to external power source when available. When multiple devices are connected to the same non-powered hub, it might not work correctly.

You can contact our support team to get more information about recommended USB cables.
- Note! There are also plenty of different USB hubs on markets. Some of those are not as reliable as others. If you are experiencing problems with device connectivity and you are using USB hub, try again without USB hub or with another USB hub.
