Windows 10: Can't Safely Remove Devices - Problem Ejecting USB Attached SCSI UAS Mass Storage Device

When I try to eject the USB storage device, a pop-up shows this:


"Problem Ejecting USB Attatched SCSI UAS Mass Storage Device

The application '\Device\HarddiskVolume5\Windows\System32\SearchIndexer.exe' is preventing this device from being stopped. Close the application and then try to stop the device again."


The same problem with yj94 Nov. 3, 2014

I also don't have anything open, my laptop is just turned on. Unlike yj94 my laptop shuts down when I try to shut it down while the USB is connected in hopes to get rid of the glitch. It runs smoothly when I turn it on again - USB still connected - I attempt to eject the USB again, and the same pop-up shows, no change. I tried the suggestion from yj94 and the same pop-up shows.


No other problems with the laptop aside from the fact that I can't safely remove the device because of the pop-up.

USB Attached SCSI (UAS) Mass Storage Device

hi there,

i have an external segate USB 3.0 hard drive.

when i am connecting it to my PC (either to a usb 3/regular port) for some reason it is recognized as a "USB Attached SCSI (UAS) Mass Storage Device"

I installed of course all of my drivers including the chipset.

here is screenshot from device manager;





i read on some post that i should try to right-click "USB Attached SCSI (UAS) Mass Storage Device" -> Update driver -> Browse my... -> Let me.. -> and then choose from the list "mass storage device".

unfortunately i don't have that option.







-i tried to uncheck the "Show compatible hardware" still no other options..

any idea why?

Thanks !
