      “You need to manually eject your USB drive before you remove it” - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

      Also, half the time when you try to eject it, it says “device busy” even though I’m not transferring files. Well, best of luck with that bud, I’m busy too yank

        That’s because some program still accesses it

        Could be just your file browser (“explorer”) that has a window open with the content of that device, or maybe some program has a hiccup and didn’t free it’s file pointer

      In the worst-case scenario, yes… but the wording on the Windows dialog literally says, “There is a problem with your device and you should scan it” and then when you do, “Your device is ready to use, no problems were found.” This, after it was ejected and got the safe removal notification. 🤷‍♂️
