Windows 10: How to refresh a USB drive without unplugging and plugging it back in Windows 7?

Often I make changes and want to make sure they are OK so I need to eject the device, check it, then I want to move more stuff around. I can eject the device from Windows 7 but to "bring it back" I need to unplug and plug it back in. Doing this several times a day is tedious and seems rather primitive. Surely there is a way of just refreshing things so the operating system sees the drive again? F5 doesn't work of course. Navigating up then back doesn't work. The only way I've found to do this is to unplug and plug it back in, like a cave man.
