Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media issue.


Defender has the same.
I think all the different AV's about have pretty much the same features now, I looked at a "best Of " guide and they all ranked highly

I often have to attempt to remove the connected device more than once in order for it to properly eject. Sometimes, I have to do it four or five times
Mine is the same, It is always first time with the 3.2 Gen 1 drives

Hi, @blasirl. I was just backing up my system. I have only one USB-C port, so I switch SSDs from my work drive to my backup drive. I noticed that I often have to attempt to remove the connected device more than once in order for it to properly eject. Sometimes, I have to do it four or five times. Have you tried something like that to see if it works?
I did before I posted here. I initially had thought my external drive had finally booted and that was why it would not eject, but I am no longer sure.
