Windows 11 can’t eject USB drive, says it’s in use
Every time I try to eject my USB drive on Windows 11, it says the device is in use. I closed all windows but it still won’t work. I don’t want to pull it out directly. Any fix?

Right click Start button > Disk Management.
Locate the USB drive to eject, right click and select Eject.
