When you connect a storage device to your PC, it engages in the system memories, and hence it is always active and in use. It can ruin a drive if you eject it abruptly. It affects the USB drive\u2019s ability to engage with the driver and slows the read and write speed over time. But what will you do if the safe ejecting program starts showing the Problem Ejecting Mass Storage Device Error?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The error often appears when you are trying to use the safe eject option from the icon tray in the taskbar. Though the error has a description that states that the drive is in use, that is not always the case that triggers the error.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So why does this error appear? More importantly, is there a way to resolve the \u201cProblem Ejecting USB Mass Storage Device\u201d error on Windows? Let\u2019s find out!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What Causes the Error in Ejecting a USB Storage Device on a PC?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The very first and obvious reason is mentioned in the error prompt itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It says, \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This device is currently in use. Close any programs or windows using the device and then try again<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hence, you should go and check whether a window or a tool is opened using the USB storage device you want to eject. If yes, simply close it and try again. However, there are other reasons that cause the issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some other errors that cause the problem with ejecting USB devices on your PC are &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The USB files are engaged with a Windows process in the background.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Virus\/Malware is affecting the functionality of safe ejection on your PC.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A system\/USB driver is acting up.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The USB File System is Not Supported.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, you will find it difficult to get the safe ejection to work. Also, the fact that your USB is plugged in and active will not allow you to remove it abruptly, as it may cause damage to the files that it holds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It only makes sense to resolve the error first and then eject the USB, as it can become a severe issue if not resolved with time.
