#182 Windows Drive Manager seems incompatible with Ext2fsd
Hi. I've got an issue. Aftet installing Ext2fsd onto my Windows 10 machine, regular Drive Manager can't automount external drives, of any format. I have to assign drive letter manually. What's worse, unmount action on Windows tray icon doesn't actually unmount the drive, nothing happens. When I remove the drive (unplug it physically), it doesn't get unmounted automatically and I get an unaccessible mount point that says to insert disk into that drive. But I can't access that drive anymore, and I can't even remove the drive letter using regular Disk Manager. I have to use Ext2fsd partition manager and manually remove the drive letter from unused mount point. And I couldn't identify my external HDD with movies. I wanted to do some backups, because my computer passed out last night and at morning it seemed that it died (thankfully, it did not), so naturally I do not want to risk data loss again and backup my important documents, if the computer actually dies and I would be forced to buy a new one.
Just to clarify, I had to uninstall it, so I could use my computer as I am used to. Didn't actually test if the issue persists even after uninstalling, or it was really just because of this incompatibility.
