Windows 10: Problem ejecting hard disk

Hi

I have been using my laptop for 2 years now

And I have an external hard disk I was even using that for a while now on my computer

But recently when I plugged in my hard disk and after using it when I clicked on eject

This message poped up

The application\device\harddiskvolume3\windows\system32\searchindexer.exe is preventihg this device from being stopped. Close the applicatian and then try to stop the device again.


After that I thought it's a virus so in the evening I purchased an antivirus software and scanned the hard disk and dint even used it dint opened any folder from that hard disk after the scan was completed I again rejected the hard disk but same message appeared

I even tried few more methods of ejecting it but same message kept on popping up


And after ejecting manually I was using my computer and after a while I face a blue screen


With a code : kernel_mode_heap_corruption


What should I do

Is it a malware?

:)

Hi Linda,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

The eject option is still available in Windows 10. Are you referring to DVD drive or USB drive?

I suggest you to run hardware troubleshooter and check if it helps.

• Type Troubleshooting in the search box and hit enter.
• Click on Troubleshooting tab.
• Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
  
• Select the Hardware and Device options from the list.
  

Get back with updated status. We’ll be glad to assist you.

Thank you.

 

An error occurred while ejecting 'Removeable Disk (E)'

I have an HP Pavilion dv7 and my optical disk (DVD drive) will no longer eject when I select the 'eject' function from the pop-up menu. When I select 'eject', I get the error message listed in the subject line. I've uninstalled the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
and the DVD device itself - shut down the PC and then rebooted. I still get the same error message. The optical drive is model hp DVDWBD TS-LB23L. When I do Properties on the drive, it states the drive is working properly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
