I had a problem with my LTO 6 drive and Windows 11. It would not format new tapes and it would not eject them. This post is just for people searching for a solution.

The work around was as stupid as can get. Right clicking and choosing eject would not work, neither would format. What I had to do was right click and choose show more options (Unsure of the translation as my Windows is in another language). Then I got the old Windows 10 interface. Then those options worked just as intended.

There is something wrong with the Windows 11 variant of eject and format shortcuts.
