Windows 10: Safely Remove notification message not appearing

I found out lately when I use the Safely Remove , I do not get the notification that the device can be removed. I had 'Show app notification' set to on, but still it does not appear. Do anyone have the same problem or know a solution to it? I would like to get notified the device is safe to remove.

Thanks a lot!!

P.S I am using bitdefender, not sure if it will affect notification

:)

 

Safe to remove hardware message no longer shows in Windows 10 Pro x64

need registry key to enable "safe to remove hardware" message in Windows 10. This message no longer appears after "Safely remove hardware and eject media" is selected from the notification area's icon. The system is working properly but is simply not displaying
the "safe to remove message" which it previously did.

 

Safe to remove hardware message only shows in Windows 10 after second click

More on the Safe to remove message issue.

When I click 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' it always results in a window with "Problem Ejecting USB Mass Storage Device" blah, blah, blah.

Disregard that and click 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' again and the Safe to Remove Hardware notification appears.

This is consistent behavior; it always happens whether or not the device was in use. It isn't sometimes, it is every single time, whatever the device and regardless of it actually being in use.

Perhaps others could check to see if it is common to all WinX systems.

 

In File Explorer and right-click of the drive should be a choice for Eject, will that work?

 

Well, only for flash drive, for portable harddisk, eject is grey out.

 

I have 3 External USB drives connected and also do not have the Eject in File Explorer but do have it in the Notification Area. Haven't checked deeply but maybe it's something with having a static drive letter assigned?

 

See if this helps

Also have a look at post #22 and 23 here
Did an update cause the safe to remove hardware message to go away? - Page 3 - Windows 7 Help Forums

 

I believe the cause for the balloon not showing for some is the definition updates for Windows 8, 10 defender, & Windows Microsoft Security Essentials for windows 7 sp1. On my windows 7 sp1, I have always show all icons and notification on the taskbar checked.

 

@engkhsky Is your windows 10 32-bit or 64-bit system?

 

Win 10

 

Guys, firstly thanks a lot! After spending few days time searching everywhere and trying every method, the problem is still there. However I found a solution, just create a new user account and in that new account, the notification message appeared when i eject my harddisk now. So I deleted away the old account, guess some thing is corrupted in that user account.
