    "Safe to remove" alert not popping up


    Hello,

    I know this is something minor, but this issue just came out of nowhere and I have to idea what the cause is. When I choose the option to safely remove a USB or External HDD from the icon in the System tray, normally an alert would pop up saying that I can safely remove the hardware.

    This alert however doesn't pop up anymore, even if I can remove the hardware without a problem.

    What's the problem here?

    :)

    "Safe to remove hardware and eject media" not working properly.

    As of yesterday, the "safe to remove" functionality on my computer with Windows 10 has become the same as it was with Windows 7 - I can now shut down both USB drives without removing either one. After clicking to remove one USB, a "safe to remove..." message
    pops up, and after clicking it, the window appears letting me click the other USB drive, and another "safe to remove..." message pops up, and I then remove both USB drives. Apparently MS has sent me an update that has corrected the problem.

    "Safe to remove" alert not popping up

    It happened to me yesterday after changing SATA mode from IDE to AHCI. It got fixed after rebooting though.

    I always have it in AHCI mode. Rebooting doesn't fix it unfortunately. I don't get why this happened, it just worked fine before without me changing anything.

    It seems to happen randomly and sometimes fixes itself, very weird. It's a pity Windows 10 still has these little flaws that happen without any clear reason.
