    Windows sometimes will not safely eject Garmin watch


    I have a Garmin watch which from time to time I connect to my Windows 11 PC to download activities, or to upload software updates. As far as Windows is concerned, the watch appears as a very small! USB drive, using I believe the FAT file system. Much of the time, when I have finished using it and closed all related applications, I can safely eject it using the taskbar icon in the usual way; however, quite often Windows tells me it is in use and cannot be ejected. Sometimes this eventually clears itself, other times it doesn't or I lose patience!. I can, of course, always shut the machine

    :)
