Cannot eject/unmount/repair hard drive after using Ableton 10

Post by Set Me Free » Sat Sep 18, 2021 11:17 pm

I've tested this on two separate hard drives and it's the same thing. I've closed all applications, I've tried logging out and back in. My only option (that I know of) is to shut down the computer. I don't like doing that every single time I leave my workstation. What background applications could be running that are jamming me up here?

When I'm with clients, the only programs I use are Ableton, Mixed In Key, Chrome, IP Vanish, & Ozone 9. The Splice app is always running in the background, Adobe Creative Cloud, Avid App Manager, the Universal Audio Console & the UAD Meter Control Panel.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Do you have any libraries on those HDs that Live could be indexing still?

I have thousands of samples and a few audio effect template racks that are on my HDs that I use. Is that what you mean? How would I stop Ableton from indexing after I close the application?

Has anyone ever run into this? I have multiple hard drives and whichever hard drive I use during the session, that is the one that won't eject. It's not localized to just one specific drive.
