    Windows hasn’t been my main os for a while but I’m fairly certain you can mount/unmount drives without rebooting.

    I work in IT for a living. Sometimes something keeps your drive locked. Windows does not confess. I wasn’t talking about linux user experience because most people don’t use linux like we do.

      try making the disk offline and online again using diskmgmt.msc, always worked for me

      you also can usually find which process is using the disk. sometimes it’s a windows system process which is very stupid tho
