Research direction
Start by reproducing the launch sequence in the issue: launch Files from the taskbar, then click Files again while it starts, and inspect the attached debug.log. Trace the Home page's drive-list loading entry point to determine why entries are duplicated. Done means the Home page shows each drive letter only once after this sequence.
