I'm still running Windows 10 and the behaviour there is the same for me, 
so I don't think it's a 10/11 thing.  I think a loooooong time ago some 
Android devices used to do what you describe, but I haven't seen it 
recently, they all seem to use the nasty MTP mode now.  I'd also be 
curious to hear if others have had different experiences though.

Scott
