How to safely eject external

I get this "Device in use" junk on Windows 10 all the time, seemingly at random. Without Hasleo installed. Often without ever actively doing anything that would access the disk (opening, moving files, or making a WinRAR archive on it, etc.) Sometimes just opening the USB drive in Explorer, hitting "F5", then closing it fixes it. Sometimes nothing seems to, and it requires a reboot. It's just one of those obnoxious "Windows things" I've learned to live with.

I do not set it to do "Better performance = enable disk caching" but it made no difference when I did, still had "device in use". I find all that does is tell Windows to "lie" to you about if it is finished moving files or not. It will say it's finished with a large file move long before it really is.
