After hitting "Eject" in Windows explorer, without removing the USB stick, can it still be read or written to by other software? If I leave it plugged in is there any risk of other software accessing my USB?

Could be possible to connect the device to a virtual machine without unplugging. Didn't try it. – zomega Dec 05 '23 at 20:00

After being ejected, a USB disk can no longer be accessed.
However, it's very easy for a program to undo the Eject.
See for example the post How to access an ejected USB flash drive without removing and plugging it back in, which contains links to several utilities that can do just that.
