Windows can’t stop your ‘Generic volume’ device because a program is still using it
I have received the same error message “Windows can’t stop your ‘Generic Volume’ device because it is in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and try again later.” for many many times whenever I would like to disconnect my external USB hard disk drive in Windows Vista Ultimate X64.
I'm sure I have stop accessing my USB drive, no program running on the desktop and I had tried many many solutions as suggested below:
- STOP the CNG Key Isolation services
- STOP any Antivirus software services
- STOP Defender services
- STOP Firewall services
- STOP ReadyBoost services
- Unlocker software
- Filemon
- Process Monitor from SysInternal
- USB safety remove software
