    I can't eject my external hardrives safely using "safe to remove" option

    Hey all, am facing an issue for a few weeks just after the creators update. I actually cant eject my external hardrives (this case my WD 1TB hardrive). This happens not to pendrives until 64GB of capacity. This happens with External hardrives,RAID or NAS
    kind of storages. I hope this issue will be fixed soon !!!

    Missing Eject in "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" List

    Hi Tze Lin Wong,

    The configuration to this can be found under settings. To enable this feature follow these steps:

    1. Right-click the taskbar and select Taskbar settings.
    2. Under Notification Area, choose
      Select which icons appear on the taskbar.
    3. Scroll to Windows Explorer: Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media
      and turn it on.

    If this doesn't work, I suggest that you check with your USB drive manufacturer for new drivers or other updates.

    All the best.
