USB drives that won't eject
Like, apparently, many people, I frequently find that USB drives won't eject because they are supposedly in use. I have seen this question posted in many places, but I have yet to see a solution that works.
There are two solutions which are supposed to work, but don't. Firstly I have read that I should find the guilty process in process explorer and then terminate it. However there is no way to filter the searches in Process Explorer just to show ones with the drive letter concerned. All it does is list every single process until it gets to the 10000th process and then gives up.
The other supposed solution is to use IOBit Unlocker, but even though this claims to identify and unlock locked files, after I run it I still can't eject the locked drive.
Is there a solution which actually works, apart from logging out and logging back in again?
