Getting Started
Option 1 | Prebuilt executable
Browse the published build files in the repository.
Important: Keep the companion PowerShell script in the expected location relative to the executable. The EXE should not be assumed to be standalone.
Option 2 | Build from source
Requirements: Windows, Rust/Cargo, and PowerShell.
git clone https://github.com/tcdoverlord/Windows-USB-Safe-Eject.git
cd Windows-USB-Safe-EjectSee BUILD-EXE.bat and the project documentation for build instructions.
Safety Notes
- Close files and applications that may be using the USB drive.
- Do not disconnect the drive if Windows reports that it is still in use.
- If ejecting fails, follow the app's status message and resolve the issue before retrying.
- A completion indicator is not proof of physical removal or data integrity.
Read the project safety documentation before use.
