[Suggestion] Equivalent of LockHunter to diagnose which used file is impeding storage device removal

Hello,

 

I would be great to have an actual indication about which programm is holding the USB storage device in use.

      davidb, thanks.
      So the information is already there, now it just need to be use to facilitate removal in a user friendly way, because we can not expect the average user to know how to look for event 225 and figure out which device is "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_AAF0&SUBSYS_AAF01458&REV_00\4&1da95f35&0&0119" for instance.

    Hello Poilaucul,

     

    The best practice to submit your suggestion to Windows engineering team is via Feedback hub app. You can launch the app by pressing Windows key + F.
