Windows 10: User in Distress! Please help!

I'm unable to safe remove/eject my external hard drive from the computer. I'm prompted with a dialog box that says some applications may be using the hard drive, and therefore it can't be removed. I've closed everything I was working on, and there no additional applications running. I managed to track down the program that was causing the error. The program responsible was the Windows Defender Antivirus Service, which was running in the background. When I tried to End Task, access was denied. Yes, I tried running it as Administrator, but access was not granted. I even tried ending the task from the Services menu, but it results in the same outcome. The last task I performed was run an antivirus scan on my external HDD. Please help!

I'm running the latest version of Windows and all my drivers are up to date. I'm able to eject my HDD safely at times, but I'm unable to, when I perform an antivirus scan or copy big files.

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
