Win10 H2O cannot safely disconnect
In short, my Kobo Aura H2O will not safely disconnect from my Win10 laptop, unless I use One Weird Trick ;-)
If I open Calibre and have Calibre eject the device, the Kobo will eventually process the content and return to the home screen. If, however, I use the eject external devices from the win10 taskbar, the reader never registers the disconnection (even though neither windows nor calibre can see the device anymore) (I have left it in this state for more than an hour.)
If I unplug the device before processing, there will be a hd error next time I plug it in, scanning will reveal nothing but it'll suppress the error for subsequent connections.
Several months back, I didn't scan for the HD error and eventually suffered database corruption.
This has been occurring for at least 4 months, under several versions of Kobo firmware AND several updates to Win10.
I am currently running Win10 build 15063.138 (creators update)
and Nickle 4.3.8945
Any advice would be helpful.
**happens regardless of the USB port I use, USB2, and 3**
