Cannot Eject USB Drive on Windows

It has frustrated me a great deal that I sometimes cannot eject USB drives on Windows. What really worked for me is the answer this superuser thread. The answer for me isn't to use the Sysinternals tools, and questionable 3rd party tools like unlocker. Rather, the answer is to use the Windows Event Viewer as pointed out by an answer in the thread. In my case, what has prevent the USB drive from being ejected is the Windows Task Manager, and I am not alone!
