NTLite tries to attempt some extra measures in the background to release in-use files when unmounting, it restarts explorer.exe without notification, this kills all open directories without any way of restoring them as Windows 10 explorer doesn't have "sessions" feature, etc.
Restarting explorer.exe is a last resort with several issues, but releasing resources usually not, at least that's my personal experience. Such a action in my opinion is an incredibly perverted which I have disliked throught the Windows history, it should always come with a prompt.
I'm speaking in general so I'm not blaming anyone directly, because it really makes no sense as it won't fix such problems in most cases so I think it may not be intended. The file/directory was open in several other programs including grepWin.
Once the resources were released, when I figured out what's going on, the unmount proceeded okay without restart.
