Windows 10: How to Disable Eject Hardware

I have an MSI motherboard with a Corsair H115i Platinum cooler which plugs into a USB socket. Working a treat but I see there is an option in the "Safely Remove Hardware" to eject it. I certainly don't want to eject it accidently so how do I remove it from the list of ejectables?

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.

 

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 (D
- Eject My Passport Ultra
- My Passport (E

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

- Open Devices and Printers
- USB Drive (D

- My Passport (E

with { - USB Drive (D } and { - My Passport (E } 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?
