One clarification: when I said scan popup window, I should have been more clear. It is the 'New Device Detected' popup that appears when I try to safely eject the usb hard drive. The one that asks if you want to scan now or later, etc Note: When I insert a usb stick, and try to take it out I CAN eject safely. Windows DOES tell me it is safe to eject the usb stick. Just not when I try to eject the usb hard drive. ----------------------------------------- That said, there is never a scan in the process of running when I go to eject. Just like there is no scan running when I go to eject the usb stick. I have ALWAYS had it set to 'Show scan options' when removable media inserted. Not to auto scan. I am assuming this is a bug when going to check for safe eject tickles something that eset interprets as media insertion?

When I try to eject my usb harddrive using the pulldown meu from the system tray (Safely Move and eject media) it never comes back saying it is safe to remove. Eventually I see the popup from Windows 10: "Windows can't stop your device because a program is still using it. Close any programs that might be using the device, and then try again later" And then right after that I see the Eset SCAN window pop up onto the screen! Why is it seemingly trying to scan when I eject? I have no scan scheduled for anything at this time. It does this every time I try to eject. I have not been able to safely eject since Windows 10 upgrade last year. And finally found this forum where maybe someone can help. Don't want to destroy any data.
