Hi, I just copied one or two fils to my external hdd connected by usb. I tried to safely remove usb. But i got alert problem ejecting usb drive. Your device is currenly used in another process. close it and try. it. I jsut closed explorer and then tried, but i could not safely remove the usb hdd.
I tried to close explorer.exe and then reopen it, but nope.
I tried to find the device process that use , without any action taken by me, i could not find anything.
in one of the forum, it says that windows list those event ids in windows event viewer in ID No.225, kernal pnp in system.
I went to event viewer, expand window logs and then system logs. I right click and click , the current event log and given id no.225. It opens a window, where this id was given inn the window log.
Surprisingly , the main opening of the first log, which i experience the problem time, was avast processes.
Why avast is not cosing it handles, whenver the program runs.
i had not remembered that i had scanned a file in the usb hdd drive.
I just copied three files from pc to usb hdd.
How avast open handles to the drive and why it prevents the usb from safely removing it.
i had ejected the drive using disk management and do it offline from online.
My query is why avast is accessing the drives, when user not configure a scan on files in the storage.
Will the avast team look in to this . i opened and most of the logs , show, the usb could not be safely remove , because of avast processes.
