Bridge Photo Downloader not seeing CFexpress Card in Windows 11

I have been scouring the forums to and see that this was a commonly reported issue in the past (didn't see much in the last couple years), but haven't found any solutions. Is there a solution or do I need to find an alternative importer? Any suggestions if I do need something else?

 

I have a Prograde CFExpress/SD card reader, SD cards are identified correctly in the photo downloader, but not the CFexpress card. I understand the issue is tied to the CFexpress card basically being mounted as a harddrive, but it sounds like it has been solved in some versions of Bridge. I see tips on Macs, but that doesn't help me. Saw something about using a AutoPlay settings, but that didn't seem to help either, Bridge didn't show up in options for removeable drives, only memory cards, and didn't seem like the CFexpress card was flagged as a memory card...

 

My setup:

Bridge version: 16.0.1.18

Card reader: Prograde PG05.5 (CFexpress + SD)

Card: Prograde 512GB CFexpress 4.0 Type B Gold

OS: Windows 11 24H2

 

Thank you!
