Mounting as removable medium does not solve the issue which I stated in my OP. This is definitely a problem with Veracrypt. I really hate having to restart my computer just to safely remove my hard drive. I have had silent corruption in the past by ejecting a supposedly inactive drive, so I won't ever take that chance again.

This does not work I tried.

I tried that software but still couldn't eject my drive. In my opinion this is a pretty big security issue not being able to eject your drive in time.

I have a Veracrypt encrypted container on my external hard drive. When I am finished with it and try to dismount it I get the message "Some volumes contain files or folders being used by applications or system. Force dismount?". I say yes, and that dismounts my container. However when I go to safely remove my external hard drive I get "this device is currently in use". I don't see any processes related to Veracrypt in task manager. So my only option to safely remove my hard drive is turn off my computer...
