Today, I would like to talk to you about how to fix USB errors on Windows 10. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following for you. I hope you can get something from this article.

We use external USB storage devices, peripherals and many devices almost every day. It is now recommended to use the securely remove USB storage device option when removing the USB storage device. This prevents data corruption in these USB devices. However, sometimes you may see the following error, which may prevent you from ejecting the device:

There is a problem popping up the USB Mass Storage-this device is currently in use, close any programs or windows that may be using the device, and then try again.

This is caused by the device interacting with the operating system in the background. Today, we will examine how to resolve this error.

USB error: this device is currently in use

There are several ways to fix this error. But before you begin, close all open windows and programs that may be using USB, then wait a few seconds, and then try. If this doesn't work, please keep reading.

-use DISKPART.

-- use disk management tools.

-use Process Explorer.

-- use Task Manager.

1. Use DISKPART

Execute the following command at the elevated command prompt

Diskpart

This starts the Diskpart utility. Then type-

List disk

And then-

List volume

These commands will help you list all disk connections or all partitions on the resulting disk.

From here on, you must select a command based on the list command you entered.

Enter-

Select disk #

Or

Select volume #

Press Enter. This will select the disk or partition you want to select.

Next, enter-

Offline disk #

Or

Offline volume #

Then press Enter. This marks the selected disk as offline.

You can now physically remove the USB storage device. But when you insert it again, you need to execute the same method in a command. You need to enter the following command-

Online disk #

Or

Online volume #

This will bring your device back online.

two。 Use the disk management utility

Type diskmgmt.msc in the text box, and then click OK.

Locate the entry for the USB storage device and right-click it.

Now choose to go offline.

You can now safely physically remove USB storage devices.

You can perform the same steps and select online to restart the USB storage device when you insert it again.

3. Use Process Explorer

Download Process Explorer from Microsoft and run the executable.

Now, select find from the menu ribbon.

From the drop-down menu, select find handle or DLL.

It will open the Process Explorer Search mini window.

For the Handle or DLL substring, type the drive letter of the USB storage device, and then select search.

It will find all processes that use the selected USB storage device.

You can terminate these processes and then try to eject the device normally.

4. Use the Task Manager

Open Task Manager and find the running processes and programs that are running on the USB storage device.

If your program uses a USB drive, it will take up some disks or CPU when transferring data and interacting with the device. This could be a criminal.

Select them, then right-click them, and finally click end Task or end process, depending on whether you want to terminate the program or the entire program.

You can also restart Explorer.exe to see if this helps.
