    Problem in Ejecting USB Hard drive having windows backup

    I recently made a windows 10 backup file in my 1TB Transcend USB hard drive. but now every time when i connect my hard with laptop it continues working and never ejects safely. I have disabled my auto backup option. It displays following message

    "This device is currently in use, Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, And then try again".

    How can i eject my Hard Drive safely?

    If i will make backup in my internal hard drive then backup could make internal hard busy as it doing external one?

    SHUTTING DOWN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE OR USB DEVICES SAFELY SO CAN EJECT

    When I try to eject safely my external hard drive or flash drive, I get a message that it is in use by some program, but I don't have any programs open. How do I stop them from running so I can eject them without losing data? thanks
