VMWare Workstation showed in the usb stray icon

Hello, I've come here to get my question answered :
yesterday, with the exact same virtual machines than today, and the same processes for my machines aswell, the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon showed up only saying that some VMWare thing was open and using some usb function.

I would love to know what could've done that and how can I make it happen again
Thanks for reading and for your time ! Smiley Happy

"some VMware thing” and “some usb function” - the more specific you can be (even better with screenshots) the more likely it is that others can help you.

Sorry I had not specified :

I'm on VMware Workstation 15.5.6 and I don't have anything to show or explain except that the USB Safe Removal showed up in the system tray and was only showing some "VMware" component, but I forgot which one...
I guess it isn't enough for anyone to accurately help me about it
