Default 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

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?
