Windows 10: Safe to remove device message not appearing - windows 10

I click on the "Safely remove Hardware and eject media" and click on my device. There is no message telling me it is safe to remove. This just started happening this week. How do I get the message back?

:)

 

USB 'Safe to remove' message never appears

The consensus seems to be developing that, if you click Eject and it disappears from the list, it's safe to remove because most Removable USB devices are defaulted to the "Quick Removal" Policy anyway.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Are you referring to Safely remove device icon or notification?

If you are referring about icon. Follow the steps below and check if that helps.

• Right click on the empty space on the Taskbar and select Properties.
• Under Notification area click on Customize.
• Under Notifications and actions Click Select which icons to appear on taskbar.
• Turn on Windows Explorer option. By turning this on you will get an icon on the taskbar.
