Device state stuck as "Removing device" in Windows > Bluetooth & Devices > Devices

[e-t-l]

Normally when you remove a device from Windows Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Devices by clicking the "Remove device" button, its status shows as "Removing device" momentarily, then it disappears.

For this particular USB adapter, it shows as "Removing device" even when it is running normally and has not been removed!

Context:

This device had some driver issues in the past that required me to forcefully remove it. Trying to "Disable device" or "Uninstall device" from DevMgmt would cause the system to hang, and a forced system restart after that would result in a POWER_STATE_STATE_FAILURE BSOD.... So clearly this device has buggy power management in general.

Ultimately the only way I could remove it was by unplugging the adapter, restarting the system, then running pnputil /remove-device as admin.

After that, I plugged it back in, found the correct driver configuration, and it works properly... except that Settings still shows the device's state as "Removing device"! As you can see, it also has the green dot that indicates it's running properly, which DevMgmt confirms.

Is there anywhere, perhaps in the Registry, which might be storing this status? If I force remove and reinstall it again, is there any key or cache I should delete to try to clear this status?
