    Can not find the little USB icon to eject drive


    I connected my drive to a new Windows 10 computer. I can't find the little icon that you can right click to remove the drive. Is there a way to enable it?
    Otherwise the drive is working fine.
    Thanks.

  2. ejecting a usb drive in 10

    Hi Walden,



    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with accessing Safely Remove and Eject Media USB icon on the taskbar.



    To assist you better, please provide us the below information:

    • When you say that "not I can not get it to show up in bottom right lower", are you referring that you are not able to see the Eject USB icon under the show hidden icons?


    I suggest you to follow the steps below to understand the system

    1. Click on Search bar.

    2. Then type "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" without the quotes in the search bar and click on it.

    3. Turn on Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon.

    Reply to us with the information, so that we can assist you better.



    Please get back to us with an update on issue, we will be happy to help.



    Thank you.

    ejecting a usb drive in 10

    Click on the Show Hidden Icons in the right side of the Taskbar. The icon to eject USB drives is in there. It's Not a really good idea just to pull out a USB drive !!

  4. Can not find the little USB icon to eject drive

    Removing a USB drive without 'ejecting' first

    Hello,

    Normally I eject a USB drive within Windows 10 before unplugging the hardware. I once understood garbage can be left behind when not ejecting first.

    Sometimes ejecting don't work because Windows says it's in use (for no reason according to me). In those cases I shut down Windows or I unplug the USB drive without ejecting first.

    • Is this garbage being left behind in Windows or on the USB drive?
    • How can I remove this garbage afterwards?
    Thanks in advance
