FanControl keeps external drives active, preventing them from being safely removed

Any external disk drive with a temp sensor (HDD or SSD, but not thumbdrive) will get locked by FanControl, so they can not be removed safely. Usually this is not an issue, but I've been getting errors just unplugging them anyway, so I'm bringing it up now, hopefully it can be fixed.

Windows event log shows this (sorry for German, but you'll get the gist of it: FanControl prevented the removal of device)

Die Anwendung \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Users\Me\Documents\FanControl\FanControl.exe mit der Prozess-ID 16436 hat das Entfernen oder Auswerfen für das Gerät USB\VID_0BDA&PID_9210\MSFT30012345678931 beendet.

Restart FanControl

Restart FanControl

That's not really a fix, just a workaround, and what if I wanted to use storage sensors?
