MeltedRanger999 This may not be the answer you'd expected, but Microsoft announced, that you really don't need to safely remove USB flash drives anymore. Maybe this has anything to do with your problem. Want more info on that, just visit https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/8/18300734/microsoft-safely-remove-eject-usb-flash-drive-not-needed-windows-10

If you anyways want to remove the device, you could press "Win + R" for Run and then just enter: "RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll" without the quotes.

If my answer was helpful, i would appreciate to get a like :)
