Windows 10: External SSD storage mounts right after ejecting - endless loop

After ejecting my external storage, the usual message shows "safe to remove hardware. The USB Attached SCSI UAS Mass Storage Device can now be safely removed from your computer". As expected.However:Followed after a split second with a new explorer window popping up from the re-connected storage device. And another message balloon from AutoPlay "There's a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it". This results in an endless eject and mount loop.. I suspect this is also why the drive is not being quickly mounted on OSX by not removing the flag on the drive for proper removal.

Windows 10 Eject Button Missing for external hard drive

Why would, of all things, the eject button of a mounted external hard drive go missing? That's a Windows operating system for you. I'm using Explorer and right-clicking over the drive letter - but, no listing for ejecting the drive. Anyway, before I just rip out the USB cable of my external hard drive - is there a reasonable solution (that's under 25 nebulous steps) to just EJECT a freakin' hard drive plugged into Windows 10? Is it really necessary for every little thing in Windows to turn into a complicated procedure?

But, the option to format the external drive is in the menu.

Error when mounting ISO files

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand when you are trying to delete/rename/move the ISO files after mounting it you get an error message. It could be possible that the ISO file is mounted and that is the reason you are unable to modify it.



I suggest you to eject the ISO file and then try to modify it. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + E, to open
   File Explorer.
   
2. Click on This PC on the left pane, you will find the mounted ISO file.
   
3. Right click on the ISO file and click on Eject. Try modifying the ISO file now.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
