Took a USB stick I've recently been using, formatted it on my Win10 pc, added some samples and stuck it into the MPC Live (2.2.1) Booted up the MPC -> Empty Projekt -> Browse -> Places and pick the drive.

First off, the drive has the old name I gave it a while ago, instead of the new name and second of all, it shows the old file structure that was on it before formatting it. It seems like it wont "update / recognize" the format and content change that I have made. Formatted it again (exFat this time) but the result was the same.

What gives...?

A format/reformat is supposed to delete and clear everything off the stick.

You should reformat the stick again in the computer, and instead of filling it with files from the computer's browser, load it with files from the MPC Software and see what happens.

Also, could be the MPC is not reading the flashdrive at all but from an SD card, SATA drive or its internal drive.
