"Windows says the equivalent of

'Sorry Dave, I can't let you do that'.

When I tell it to eject the drive.

Yet, there is nothing using it."

Something *is* using it, you just don't know what it is. Sure Windows ought to be better at telling you what is using it and in fact Windows 8.1 onwards does usually tell you.
