Re: Safe To Remove Hardware Message

Smiling?
 

Windows Explorer Show icon and notifications Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media is the option that you are interested in.

 

You can also just use your Windows key and type in

Icons and for my machine, one of the options that comes up will be

Notification Area Icons, hit enter on that and tab through seeing all what you do want and do not want showing up on your system tray. You can also Shift+Tab 5 or so times to get to something like show all of the Icons all of the time and check it then tab to OK if this is what you are after.

I understand you are using 10, but it truly wouldn’t be all that different and I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out.

Hi Again All,

 

Okay, by doing the following Jaws will report the safe to remove message, although not consistently.  I knew I had a note about this somewhere because this also happens in Widows 7, and this is how I fixed it in Widows 10:

1. Windows key + I, to open Settings, Navigate to Personalization, and press enter.
2. Go to, Taskbar, press enter, tab to, Notification Area, Select which icons appear on the taskbar Link, and press enter.
3. Tab to, Windows host process (Rundll32) Button, press the spacebar to  check this option, and you should now hear Jaws report it's safe to remove.... after pressing enter on a drive from the Safely Remove Hardware icon.

 

Please let me know if the steps work for anyone else.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

You can't eject hard drives and I have many flash drives that can't be ejected either.  One of the terms used is incorrect.  but the procedure described is for using safely remove hardware so the procedure is correct.

Hi all,

External hard drives can't be ejected like cards or USB drives.

Tell me, is Widows 10 better than the Nuptual version?   Wouldn't
Widows be more apt to give the blue screen of death?  <smiling>  Yes, I
know I'm bad, very bad!
