All my PCs / laptops run win11 now, but yes, I remember it when running win10. At that time, I used a free proggie, this one if not in mistake https://safelyremove.com/, which was a lifesaver as I don't have that much patience to wait for processes to release the USB drive(s).
Checked this last version with VirusTotal, https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0c4988598e9f21c8729797a4e8a828bcd4109f83797161788deccdacebc00b5b, and it seems 100% safe.
Best of lucks and patience with that,

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Windows 10 - Safe to Eject Flash Drive
My esteemed listmates,
XP and W7 never seemed to have this issue but it's huge with W10.
I 'll insert a flash drive into my laptop. I'll open that flash drive in File Explorer and open a Word file.
I'll then open 2-3 browsers and other applications and then close the flash drive file opened and close FE but W10 won;t prived the Safe to Eject Flash drive.
I often have to close all my browsers (what do they have to do with the one file I opened in FE?) and yet I still can't get the safe to eject.
There have been times I've had to reboot the laptop just to eject the flash drive.
Has anyone found a fi for this with W10?
Thank you,
Charles.
