Not able to 'Safely Remove Hardware' in Windows?

If you're like me, always struggling to find the trick to safely removing or unplugging external drives without the hassle of seeing this error message popping-out of your screen.

-The device 'Generic volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later-

This can be quite annoying particularly if you just want a quick and easy way to take out your drive at that time!

Found the solution and discovered this free application called Unlocker that can do the unlocking literally to whatever system that is accessing your external drive.

You need to install the small exe file and after it's now ready for right-clicking the drive to unlock it.

It can actually show you who's reading the drive and simply 'Kill the process' to stop accessing the drive.

After that it's now ready for the proper and guilt-free 'green' arrow safely-remove-drive option.

With all this, it still better than actually restarting your Windows!
