Going into the task manager and killing the process might not be ok. Stopping an antivirus scan should be ok (if you don't suspect you have any viruses at the time). Stopping the Windows Search service is also ok. Ending a task gracefully (closing the program that has the lock) is OK most of the time. The two Event IDs 225 will show the process ID and the name of the process responsible for the lock.ģ) Right click on "System" and choose "Filter Current Log"Ĥ) In the dialog that comes up, enter "225" (without quotes) where it says "All Event IDs"ĥ) You will then see all events related to unable to eject because a process locked the drive.Ħ) Look at the timestamps on all these entries and find out which ones relate to the actual time when you tried to eject the drive.ħ) Take appropriate action. Simpler Method: Windows (10 at least, AFAIK) creates an entry in the event log when you try to eject a removable drive and you cannot because a process has a lock on it.
