    When attempting to eject volumes (either external drives, SD cards, or USB thumb drives) on the host OS I keep getting
    If I run "lsof" on the the volume it's always Parallels using the drive:
    Even though I wasn't using the volume on parallels or the guest OS. The only way to safely eject the volume is to kill the PID, but that caauses Parallels to restart. This did not always happen, not sure what changed. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Architecture: Apple Silicon M1
    Host OS: MacOS Monterey
    Guest OS: windows 11

    Same problem when I mount a NAS (SMB) on my Mac. I have to shut down Windows (Parallels) to be able to eject the NAS. I would like a better solution.

    Same problem for both USB drives and SD cards. While force eject works this is a sledge hammer to crack a nut and encourages the bad behaviour of ignoring error/warning messages

    Same here. Any solution yet? I can't keep force ejecting

    Same for me: External drive cannot be ejected
    Glad, that I'm not being alone with this case. The bug seems to be introduced with PD17. It never occurred with previous versions.

    Hi Everyone,
    I've submitted the issue to our developers. They've already identified the root cause and are working on the fix. Thank you for your patience!
