I use very often Google Chrome portable on public cafe internet. When the time is up i close google chrome and when i try to remove the device windows says there's proceses using the drive. The Drive is bussy.
I would like to know how can i speed all google chrome background applications to finish quick and prevent removing the drive unsafely

Hey, I've got the exact same problem, and I think it is quite annoying. To (kind of) fix it, I've made a small batch file that just kills the GoogleChromePortable.exe process, which then allows you to remove your device safely.
Here's the code, which you'll have to save as a .bat file somewhere on your device:
@echo off
taskkill /f /im GoogleChromePortable.exe
pause
I hope it helps.
PS: If you're having this problem with any other processes, just change the GoogleChromePortable.exe to the different processes that are still running after you've closed them.
The only reason GoogleChromePortable.exe is still running is if Chrome hasn't shut down. Probably because you installed an extension or app that never shuts down in Chrome (aka a background process) which are not portable. You need to shut down chrome. Then the GCP.exe launcher will automatically close.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I haven't face this problem yet, but I think there is an option that about the background apps: Settings> System> Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed.
just for fun!
