  1. eject hardware


    I have my printer plugged in and want to unplug it, but there is no icon for this either. The battery icon and the safely eject hardware button are both missing.

    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.

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

    I use to be able to eject my USB drive via "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" with list as below:

    - Open Devices and Printers
    - Eject Data Traveler 111
    - USB Drive (Deject hardware :)
    - Eject My Passport Ultra
    - My Passport (Eeject hardware :)

    However recently the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" list seems corrupted and shows:

    - Open Devices and Printers
    - USB Drive (Deject hardware :)

    - My Passport (Eeject hardware :)

    with { - USB Drive (Deject hardware :) } and { - My Passport (Eeject hardware :) } are grayed out.

    Currently the only way for me is go to file explorer and right click the removable drive and click Eject.

    Please help!

    Safely remove hardware and eject

    Prior to the latest update In Windows 10, when I wanted to eject a USB i clicked on the safely remove hardware icon, it now directs me to devices and printers, but my usb's are not listed. Why?
