    Screen Message: An error occurred while ejecting (A USB adapter)


    Windows 10 Pro version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.985)
    Help -P-L-E-A-S-E-
    I use a MicroSD card (32GB) in a USB adapter to view details from my DashCam in my car.
    Recently my Desktop PC has been giving me an error message when I have ejected the adapter and MicroSD.
    The message reads, "An error occurred while ejecting"
    How can I remove this message from appearing on my monitor when the USB adapter is removed?

    Many thanks for any help!
    Kind regards
    Mike

    Do you get the same message when ejecting via Devices and Printers ?

    Screen Message: An error occurred while ejecting (A USB adapter)


    Hello joeandmarg0
    In answer to your question, NO, when removing the USB via Devices and Printers, there is no error box shown.
    I have always used the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" icon at the bottom right of the screen.
    I suppose it is half of the solution so thanks for that. Problem Solved!!
    Kind regards,

    Out of interest,have you tried the safe method?
    With the adapter plugged in,shut down,power off,unplug adapter,wait about one minute,repower and restart and plug in adapter.
    Then see if the "safe to remove" method works normally.
    If not,then run ---sfc /scannow---followed by ---dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth---which should fix any file corruption.
    Shutting down completely every once in a while,helps in cleaning out the RAM.
