  1. Is it safe to remove the future update?


    Hello. I'm having problems with Windows 10 1909 version and it's been more than 10 days so I can't do the roll back option. Someone suggested that I delete this:

    Feature Update to Windows 10 Version 1909 via Enablement Package KB4517245


    I've deleted Windows.old folder. If I remove this, will I be okay? I want to get back to the older version, which was before I installed 1909. Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Safely remove hardware icon

    Hi Cynthia,

    For us to properly isolate the missing "Safely Remove Hardware icon" issue, we would like to know the following:

    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
    • When did the issue first begin?
    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Normally, this icon isn’t missing and it’s most likely hidden in your Taskbar. To reveal this icon, you may click the arrow in the bottom right corner to show more sysbar icons. If it is available, you may pin it to your Taskbar by following the steps below:

    • Connect a USB flash drive or any other removable storage to your PC.
    • Click the arrow in the bottom right corner to expand the sysbar section.
    • Now locate Safely Remove Hardware icon and drag it to your Taskbar.

    We look forward to your response.
