Yes, that mount is your problem.  But it is a system mount and not a
user mount, which means it is stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE part of
the registry and will require administrator privileges to remove.  If
you log on as administrator and try to umount, it should succeed.

Don't worry about recreating the mount using the e: drive, it shouldn't
be necessary.  It was only ever needed to force the fonts directory to
binmode and your mounts are binmode anyway.  And on top of that, the
problem with textmode fonts directory has been worked around elsewhere,
so it is now extraneous.
