Windows 10: Windows won't release my USB (svchost)

I'm having trouble removing my USB flash drive from the PC.

I went to taskbar clicked on the securely remove hardware link chosing my usb drive and got a message that the hardware can't be removed because it is beeing used.

So I went to resource monitor to check which processes are using g: (my usb) and got this:






So went in to command prompt and did a

taskkill /im explorer /f
explorer.exe

to finish and reopen the explorer process

Now the explorer processes are not using G: anymore but the 2 svchost processes are still using it this:

G:\$Extend\$Objld:$O:$INDEX_ALLOCATION

G:\System Volume Information\tracking.log

I tried finishing the svchost process before like I finished explorer but from what I remember the system crashed and had to be restarted that time.

Is there a way to release my USB securely without having to turn off the computer? Thanks in advance.

What does the svchost do?

Lots of Windows services are tied to the SVChost, and /or are listed as SVChost in the process list(s).

Unfortunatley with Vista, there's a lot more dependencies between the services, and thus you'll be FORCED to run more instances of SVChosts; unlike XP where things were more independent and you could disable more features resulting in less SVChost instances. That and XP and Vista are different.

Regardless of your Windows version, you can check out some service slimming guides or goto Black Viper's website and take his advice. Depending on your needs you may be able to cut down the amount of SVChost running, and save some RAM.

XP should never have an SVChost using 50mb. Vista however can.

Analyzing Svchost processes in Windows

Here's how to track down detailed information about any Svchost.exe process running in Windows 7/8.

a) You can use the Tasklist command-line tool to learn which services are running in a Svchost.exe. Just run cmd (command prompt) and hit

Tasklist /svc /fo list

Scroll through the list and find what you need. It's not quite intuitive so you can use third party programs with gui. See below:

b) You can use svchost viewer. Best utility. Note: to run this under XP you need .Net framework 2.0





c) Svchost Process Analyzer is another app for that.





d) And another app called Svchost lookup tool





e) And it won't hurt if you use Process Explorer and System Explorer.


It's never bad to keep your system under control, plus all these apps are portable no installation is required.
