    Change in default removal policy for external storage media in Windows 10

    My newly installed Windows 10 does not save my changes to the removal policy. When I change the policy to better performance for my Seagate Expansion drive and then safely remove the drive, the policy is changed back to Quick Disconnect when I reattach
    the drive. I have followed this procedure:

    Windows default media removal policy - Windows Client Management

    I used this process for safe removal:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4051300/windows-10-safely-remove-hardware



    Option 5 seems to be the only available option for my WINDOWS 10.

    Is there any way to permanently save the removal policy? I have two Seagate Expansion drives and want to have better performance policy on both without having to set it every time I use these drives.

    Thanks.

    How to make Quick Removal as Default

    I see no answer was forthcoming on how to change the removal policy settings for removable drives.

    Apparently, "quick removal" is the default settings (and has been so for a long time), although many believe this is new since 1809.


    I, on the other hand, are not bothered by this but would like to know if the default can be set to "best performance" instead.

    the problem is of course, IF "best performance" is selected as the default, and the device is removed without using "safe removal" damage is now high risk, presumably why the policy change occurred in the first place.

    Is there anything on the tensforums discussing the pros and cons of either setting?
