    not showing USB safe to remove hardware notification


    Been playing with this for a while.

    When my external hard drive is connected and I eject, sometimes the message notification says safe to remove and most of the time I eject and their is no « safe to remove hardware notification «

    the taskbar icons are defaulted as this is a new install. It’s very random, once in a while the message pops up and the most part it does not.

    Anyone know what makes this message notification for ejecting hard drive come up ?

    Notifications are set to on for all apps with sound, everything is at default

    :)

    Safely Remove Hardware icon missing

    Hi
    In the last few days the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon has gone missing from my Taskbar. Also, if I right-click on the USB stick or USB hard drive in 'This Computer' the Eject option is missing.
    In PC Settings/Personalisation/Taskbar/Notification area/Select which icons appear on the taskbar I have 'Always show all icons in the notification area' switched on & all items in the list are in the 'on' state including 'Windows Explorer (Safely Remove Hardware & Eject Media).
    Any suggestions?

    No Notification to safely remove hardware

    I am using Windows 10 Pro version and I do not get a Safely to Remove hardware notification - visual or sound.

    If I have multiple flash drives attached, after the first attempt to safely remove a drive the "flash drive: icon is no longer active.

    I have to use File Explorer to verify the flash drive has been released or just power down to ensure drives (USB ports) are not active.

    Settings >> Notifications & actions : Does not have a setting for USB.

    Settings >> Devices >> USB : is set to Notify me if there are issues connecting USB devices.

    What setting provides the visual and sound notification to safely remove a hardware device?
