Windows 10: eject hardrive

Hard drive constantly says in use? I am not using anything else, so cannot eject it

:)

 

I can't eject my external hardrives safely using "safe to remove" option

Hey all, am facing an issue for a few weeks just after the creators update. I actually cant eject my external hardrives (this case my WD 1TB hardrive). This happens not to pendrives until 64GB of capacity. This happens with External hardrives,RAID or NAS
kind of storages. I hope this issue will be fixed soon !!!

 

An error occured while ejecting

Hi Johnny,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



I suggest you to follow the steps listed in
problem ejecting USB mass storage device and check if it works.



Note: The article holds good for Windows 10.



Hope it helps.

 

Missing Eject in "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" List

Hi Tze Lin Wong,

The configuration to this can be found under settings. To enable this feature follow these steps:

1. Right-click the taskbar and select Taskbar settings.
   
2. Under Notification Area, choose
   Select which icons appear on the taskbar.
3. Scroll to Windows Explorer: Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media
   and turn it on.

If this doesn't work, I suggest that you check with your USB drive manufacturer for new drivers or other updates.

All the best.
