    Eject device icon wrong for anyone else?


    I've been noticing lately that everyone but me has that new generation flat style icon for the eject device handler. Mine looks the same as in 7 (at the bottom):

    Does anyone have thoughts about this?

    'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' tray icon does not inform on successful ejection

    Thanks, but that's not my problem.

    As I said, I have the icon in the taskbar. But when I use it to eject something, I never get a response saying the device can be removed safely and the icon stays there forever.

    If I do the eject from Explorer, then I get the "safe to remove" message and the Safely Remove Hardware icon goes away.,

    Unfortunately I can only eject flash drives from Explorer, not removeable hard drives.

    Cannot even tell what you are talking about, with all of that junk in that rectangle. How many programs are you running, that are showing up in the Task area? Third party software from one of those programs is why your icon changed.

    The "safely remove device" icon... At the bottom...

    This:

    as opposed to what it's apparently supposed to be:

    Eject device icon wrong for anyone else? [​IMG]


    And no, it's not from any of those other programs, I don't have any junk or interfering stuff installed.

    Will try the reset...
    Edit: no dice :/

    @Winuser
    Well tbh I'd prefer to change it to what it's supposed to be. It's an anomaly, and being a programmer, I don't like anomalies. They tend to be symptoms of other problems, of which I have plenty with w10. I'm actually hoping this is caused by some other issue that I've always thought was just w10 being the junk that it is but will turn out to be a fixable problem, with this wrong icon being one of the symptoms.

    The icon changed with thelast rollout. Also the fix for the context menus no longer works when you try placing the .bat in Start. May have to make that one as a Startup script.

    I am thinking that the change from the old to the new happened mid January. I just noticed it last week, while doing a SD card for the Raspberry Pi I got last week.

    As for the other stuff, it can cause system issues, even slow it down with all of that running at once. You may want to trim down what items you do not use all of the time.

    Just a little concerned, because having to deal with too many systems that the issue why it ran slow, was because of too many background processes wanting Internet and system.

    No really, please stop bringing this up. I know what programs I run, they all have use to me all the time, and most of them are pretty lightweight anyway, like superf4 or findandrunrobot. They're not the cause of any issues either. I've gone over it all enough to know they're all "safe". I also just seem to have many because I opt into the icons whenever I can and I disable the pop-out tray so I have a constant overview of what's running.

    I'm looking into a forced update now, build 10560 or something... This seems to be a common issue, a november update some people miss once and never get again.
