I find it weird that Windows doesn't already tell you what app is holding a file/directory/USB locked when you try to move/delete/eject something.
Is there some common use case that makes this hard?
- w7 6y agoYeah I don't believe windows tells you in the pop-up at all. Spawning questions like https://superuser.com/questions/87364/can-windows-tell-me-what-is-using-my-usb-drive https://superuser.com/questions/87364/can-windows-tell-me-wh... For me sometimes it's something as simple as a "rogue" notepad I lost track of on another monitor.
- _carbyau_ 6y agoI agree it doesn't tell you. Your link has some great pointers, even the event log will straight up tell you. So why doesn't the popup tell you? It doesn't seem like a complicated issue, hence my query as I feel like I am missing something here.
