k70 rgb CUE won't start due to "No Disk" error

Hi,

this thread is based on a similar, but very old one, which did not resolve the issue. (http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=132225).

On boot or on manual start of Corsair Utility Engine (1.16.42, Win 10 Pro 64bit) i get the following error message:

G: is in fact one of the drives of my card reader. The card reader reserves some drive letters which are initially hidden in the explorer, until an sd card is inserted.

I even tried two different onboard sd card readers, which work similar and I get the problem with both:

• Akasa InterConnect Pro, USB 2.0 (AK-HC-05BKV2)
  
• i-tec USB 3.0 All-in-One Internal Card Reader
  

In my opinion, this is obviously a software problem. Why would the CUE care about my card reader drives?

I own a Corsair Gaming K70 RGB. For system specs, see my profile.

This problem occurred a few months ago, I don't remember when or with what CUE version exactly.
