Where is Safely Remove Hardware?
There are so many annoying things about W-10.
Safely Remove Hardware was in the box that opens when the ^ was clicked on the taskbar. It was there last night. Tonight I went to remove a thumbdrive and it's gone. Cortana says to look in Windows Explorer and turn it on. It doesn't say where in WE. No one turned it off. Agent Ransack couldn't find it. Googling as usual wasn't very helpful. This is apparently a known problem. I tried the info found online and couldn't find a Safely Remove Hardware icon to drag to the taskbar. Since with Classic Shell I can switch back and forth I can only assume the info given online isn't for W-10 Home but for some other version such as Pro. Then there's this one. Fix: Safely Remove Hardware Icon Disappeared in Windows 10 https://windowsreport.com/safely-rem...on-windows-10/ Nov 20, 2017 - If the icon is available, you can permanently pin it to your Taskbar by doing the following: 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. There is no "arrow" on the bottom left when switched to W-10 Start menu. Start and a Task View icon is all that's there. Can someone please explain why this icon vanishes and how to get it back in W-10 Home? |
