Disk Not Ejected Properly error message on Mac OS 13.3.1?

[Fatoush]

Hello! 

*Please delete this if need be since it is not a question specific to LPX, but I figured someone on here could have some insight as to what may be causing this. 

I have one external USB 3.0 drive that I have used successfully for many years now. Every since updating to OS 13.3.1 there are a ton of error messages that pop out of nowhere that say "Disk Not Ejected Properly"- this mostly happens when the computer is awoken from its sleep state. I never unplug it before dismounting it which would be the usual reason I would see this error. 

Sometimes it even happens out of nowhere when the computer is up and running. I definitely never had this when working on the previous OS's. I only saw it start this behavior when updating to the current OS. 

Anyone else experiencing this same issue? I have messed with the "put HD to sleep" option to no avail. 

Thank you for your time and attention.

Wild guess: permission’s issue?

Does that drive and its content have been granted permission?

if the above didn’t help or not at stake, have you tried resetting the NV/PRAM & SMC?

Here’s some insight about that issue gleaned on the net (while googling for "random "Disk Not Ejected Properly" pop up on Mac").

which mac? if it's an intel mac, try resetting the SMC (google for your particular model). also, how old is the drive, and how is it formatted?

Thanks guys! Resetting the PRAM seemed to have fixed it! It's funny b/c that is something that I used to do a lot many years ago and for some reason I stopped doing. I guess I forgot about that being option lol. While we are on the subject of it. My computer seems much quicker and pep'y-er after resetting the PRAM, can you remind me how often you can do it without it being an issue if at all? I am not getting that specific answer on Google. Thanks so much fellas!

You can do it as many times as you want, but normally when the computer acts up.
