renaming mounted drive in Windows Explorer is irreversible

Hi, I just started using Cryptomator. I made a new vault and named it "Encrypted Folder". Then, I tried to rename the mounted drive in the Windows Explorer. First thing I noticed was, that I can only delete characters from the name that was already given, but I cannot add any. So then the mounted drive was called "Encrypted Folde". I uninstalled Cryptomator and reinstalled it. I set up the same folder with the same name again, and then the mounted drive was named like it was before “Encrypted Folde” instead of “Encrypted Folder”. I even restarted my computer. I can rename the drive in Cryptomator to something else, then it will take over the new name, but when I change it back to “Encrypted Folder” the mounted drive is called “Encrypted Folde” again. How can I reset this behaviour?

I also posted this issue in the Cryptomator community: https://community.cryptomator.org/t/changing-name-of-mounted-drive-is-buggy/11851?u=yannis

I didn't know it was possible to change a volume name from within Windows Explorer. There is certainly no FUSE API for such a thing, so I doubt this is a Cryptomator bug. Sounds more like a Explorer caching problem.

Not being able to type is with 100% certainty an Explorer issue, there is no way to affect Input handling in its UI via fs APIs.
