Window 10 PC can't eject nuvi
|

Using my W10 PC I have just succesfully updated the software and maps on my nuvi 2597LM, but the PC was then unable succesfully to eject/safely remove the device. After trying, Windows Explorer failed to respond and could not be closed using Task Manager. After turning off the PC and unplugging the nuvi, I turned it on and after the initial Garmin screen the screen went white, with two thin black line parallel to the edges of the screen, intersecting with a dot and "Touch dot". On tapping the dot , the line switched to another position, with the same words, and so on. Holding the on/off button for 10 seconds produced the same screen. On switching back on the PC, it worked perfectly. When I reconnect the nuvi, Garmin Express recognises it and functions, but the nuvi still can't be safely ejected. Anyone any idea how I can recover from this impasse?
Addendum
I should have added that If I connect my nuvi 1490 to my PC, everything work correctly, even after the nuvi 2597 failed to eject.

Beginning in Windows 10 version 1809, the default policy is Quick removal. ". With "Quick removal" enabled, there is no need to use the Safely Remove Hardware process.

Touch Screen Calibration.
The "touch dot" behavior means you somehow got into the touch screen calibration routine. This often happens if you are touching the upper left corner of the screen when you power the nuvi on. It is nothing to worry about, and is not directly related to the USB eject issue you described. Some of my nuvi's also won't eject on Windows 10, some eject consistently without issue … go figure. I don't lose any sleep over it. Usually if I just unplug the nuvi, File Explorer will eventually unlock and recover without shutting down/rebooting the computer.

I doubt that this is a
I doubt that this is a Nuvi/Garmin issue.
it is a windows issue and might do better on a windows forum, but I frequent those also.
Here is my suggestions:
get TFC from here
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/187-tfc-temp-file-...
it is a portable program that does not need to be installed.
close all your programs and run it. It will clean all your tmp, temp, caches etc.It may take a long time if you have not cleaned recently.
then open a CMD or powershell window as administrator.
type
chkdsk c: /f
it will ask if you want to run it on next reboot. yes and reboot.
note, if you want to see if there are issues you can run
chkdsk c:
it will run without reboot and tell you if there are issues.
If there are you will need to run the first one to fix them.
If you have other partitions or disks, run the same thing with the appropriate drive letter.
Then type
SFC /scannow
that will check and repair any corrupt system files.
It may tell you it did not succeed. You will then have to run
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Then do a complete virus scan of your system.
I recommend VIPRERESCUE and MBAM and MBAR. They are all free
MBAM will install as your resident scanner if you are not careful. Viprerescue does not install and MBAR is an on demand scanner.

Why is it a Windows issue, when it only happens on the nuvi 2597 not on the nuvi 1490, and not with any other device attached?

Have you gone through all of the various touch points until the calibration is complete? Normally that should keep that screen from appearing again until you press the screen again in the required location to bring up the calibration again.

Yes indeed. From the YouTube, it looks like there are six points to set followed by the completion 'OK' screen:

Note in the YouTube that the first time the person tried tapping the first point, it didn't register

Thanks for the support
Thanks for the support video. I had previously tried going through the calibration process, without success. The secret turned out to be to use a stylus, to make the contact more exact. This worked after just three calibration points. Normal service is now resumed - although this nuvi - a 2597 - still won't eject whereas the 1490 does, so I still have to wait a while to ensure that all has finished.
