Windows 10: Different 'Removal policy' for two USB 3.0 ports

Hi,I have two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports.When I plug external drive flash or disk into first USB 3.0 Port_#0008.Hub_#0003 then it is not possible to safely disconnect the drive because "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" icon is not present on the task bar the icon is not hidden.Also "Removal policy" section is missing in drive's properties and the device is not listed in "Safely remove hardware" window as well as in the "Devices and Printers" window.It seem to me like the external drive is recognized as internal.If I plug the same drive into the second USB 3.0 Port_#0006.Hub_#0
