I've had a recent problem since 24H2 in that I can not safely remove hard drives
I've tried Clean Boot and various other options looking for why the drive relocks and nothing has worked but I did discover a workaround
Click Eject (on the drive) → Immediately open the Safely Remove Hardware window. and the drive will eject
When you open the Safely Remove Hardware window do not click eject again just open the window
This simply bypasses the timing conflict that Microsoft accidentally created in the latest update
