Solved No message when ejecting USB device Solved now

Hi folks
Is there some setting that needs to be (re)-set to enable the message when you eject a USB device via the applet "Safe to remove this device" to appear again. Now no message so you have to check manually whether the device has been disconnected properly.

(Windows 11 PRO Dev rs_preview build 25xxx)

Cheers

I checked mine and I ended up looking in Settings>notifications> Windows explorer and checked it wasn't silent and was set up correctly

I'm not seeing Windows Explorer in the notifications area. Could be I'm just overlooking it...

I see, I am not sure if you can get to it via notifications, I will check mine as it is working fine

@jvickers I just tried mine again and it has not given me the safe to eject message but I still get an error if it's in use

It must be something they changed or broke, then. Thanks for looking again, Rod!

No problem, it should be fine if there is no notification as I still get a warning if it is in use. I will reboot and look later

@jvickers I plugged a couple of usb's in and it is now showing Windows Explorer in Notifications here is a couple of shots of mine

On the Dev channel I don't have File Explorer in the System, Notifications list.

I have these though,

Thanks "peeps" -- Obviously this is a problem

Maybe problem will get fixed in later releases.

I just noticed also in the latest update I have to a W10 install I have (need to keep that as some work gigs need W10 on client computers) same problem and also on the W22Kserver trial 180 day free evaluation version I'm playing with.

So it's obviously broken for a lot of people.

@Fabler2 -- love the "Ear Trumpet" -- reminds me of those old text books back in my youth when people who wanted to learn to speak French / German from far away etc saw things like "Please repeat as my Grandads ear trumpet can't hear you" and other nonsensical stuff like that. !!!

youngsters not having to go through those excruciating bits of horror at School should be eternally grateful -- although as a professional Engineer the one bit of moden technology I'd toss down the toilet pan would be most of the Social media "Krapification", and incorrect use of the word "Gaslighting" and other scientific energy expressions for meaningless jibble jabble speak.

No worries, Rod. I can eject media. I just don't get the message. I'm kind of getting used to it.

I haven't checked the dev machine, but even on the release build it seems to keep disappearing from notifications and then later it's back

It must be some other setting then, but I have no idea which one

Thanks -- but still no good. The device gets disconnected OK but no message.

Even with this weird setting I found :
