Set up:

Windows 10.0.15063
Calibre Portable 3.7
USB 3 Memory stick

I am having a problem with Calibre Portable running on a USB memory stick.
After I have accessed Calibre, then closed it down and tried to stop the USB Stick to remove it, the Memory stick is reported as still being used , "do not remove".

This happens on more than one computer.

A friend has a program for closing reluctant memory sticks. This shows that the processes/programs tying up the stick are:

system\...\calibre.exe and
system\...\calibre-parallel

I cannot find the related processes/app in Windows Task Manager to close them that way.

Any suggestions on how to stop this happening or which processes to halt will be appreciated.
