  I partly confused things with Uwe Sieber's utilities, especially the
USB ones.

  So I looked again at Uwe's site and this seems to be what you're
looking for:

RescanDevices
 
When an IDE or SATA drive has been prepared for safe removal it can be
reactivated by a scan for new hardware.
That's what this tool initiates.

It is a non interactive, invisible Windows application. It does the same
as Microsoft's tool DEVCON when called with parameter 'rescan', but no
console window pops up.

Download: rescandevices.zip

  RescanDevices is listed way down this page:

<https://www.uwe-sieber.de/drivetools_e.html>

  The description talks about "drive"s, but as it says that it initiates
a scan for new hardware and does the same as 'devcon /rescan' it seems
to fit your need.
