It is safer to click on “Safely remove hardware,” when you want to remove your USB flash drive from a computer, than just pulling it out. But, what if this button disappears from the notification area? Don’t worry, we have a solution for that.

Delivered slowly enough for us to understand and follow with no annoying loud music in the background, well done!!
Thanks so much. Restarting Windows Explorer restored the missing "Safely Remove Hardware" icon and fixed the volume icon which was not responsive, so now I can adjust the volume again.
It's a good thing there is RUclips and helpful people like you. Thanks for the info. The third one worked the best for me as well.
Thank you so much! Restarting Windows Explorer has solved the issue for Windows 8.1 as well. Thumbs up, bro!
Does restarting windows explorer removes any important files? Is it safe?
Thank you so much! Restarting Windows Explorer has solved the issue
1:00 NOT ON MINE, there is NO option to 'Stop' , it just
lists the external drive in 'This PC' .
1:54 What worked in my case, (the verbiage was; 'USB Disk USB Device')
I clicked uninstall, and it did. The icon did not re-appear right away,
it took a few mins, when I clicked the slide out arrow on my taskbar,
the 'safely eject' icon reappeared. When going back into 'hidden devices'
the list did not refresh, or include the term or item; 'USB Disk USB Device'
What is disturbing about this Safely Eject issue now , is that I'm no longer
prompted or have confirmation that; 'it is now safe to remove device' after
clicking 'safely remove' lol. It used to confirm.
NOTE; to others, I tested two ext drives, a WD Elements drive 250 or 500 gb,
the old spinning type, and when I clicked eject, the spinning ceased after
about 12 seconds. When I clicked eject, on an old 'thumb drive' that lights up when
in use, that light went out right away.
Thank you so much! Restarting Windows Explorer has solved the issue for Windows 10. Thumbs up, bro!
Thanks! Restarting Windows Explorer fixed the problem. Awesome!
Thank you so much. We used the option to restart Windows Explorer and it restored the missing icons immediately. It worked on the first try!
The 3rd one finally worked for me. Thanks!
Thank you so much. Right clicking on taskbar, bringing up Task Manager, then restarting Windows Explorer brought up the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon again
If you restart all your files will deleted?
THANK YOU so much! Restart Windows Explorer brought back the icon for me!
Great tutorial, simple and helpful, much appreciated.
mine always on even when there is no printer or usb drive is connected
how to fix that
Lost the 'safely remove hardware' button after a big windows 10 update. The 'restart Windows Explorer' option, at 2:00 in the video, sorted it out.
Thanks so much. Simple Straight forward and easy to follow. Cheers. Tony
for me i can see the eject option on other drives but not on my external hard drive that i got last week...
Restarting of Explorer helped me out...Thanks bro.. :)
My problem is just the opposite, the icon doesn't want to disappear from the taskbar, even after ejecting the peripheral. This error occurred after a failure to format a pen drive to create a Windows 10 pen drive, where the system randomly created a UEFI volume apart from the other volumes inside the pen drive, and even after deleting that second volume, the problem persists. I have already restored the system to a previous point and it did not solve. How would I go about solving this issue?
WHAT IF I WHANT IT TO DISAPEAR???
Thanks Restarting Windows Explorer has solved the issue for Windows 10 as well.
If we have closed out files in our ext devices, via
closing out folders or any items that we might
have been working with or viewing, do we even need
to address a 'safe eject' action? I had been removing
devices for two or three years since I'd lost my 'safe eject'
icon, without any issues. shrugs... I thought I'd read a
couple years back that we no longer need to use a
'safe eject' issue, I don't know if that is true.. (win10)
I use #2.
It perfectly works.
Thanks
None worked for me... :(
I found that if I logged on as an admin the icon showed up. But, thank you for this as an option if the admin account is affected too. :)
Nope. Fails throwing the error: "The 'ISS Dynamic Bus Enumerator' device is not removable and cannot be ejected or unplugged."
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you. The Windows Explorer restart fixed it for me.
Windows 10 is the worse version of Windows since ME. Microsoft should be ashamed of the themselves! This is just another of 1000s of things that never failed in previous versions but is now failing and worse yet, randomly. Shame on you Microsoft! I've been saying the following on many posts in many different areas. Some very large corporations need to start filing class actions suites against Microsoft to recover lost people hours and loss of productivity due do have to spend hours-and-hours-and-hours troubleshooting and fixing their bugs.
Does that thing safely remove hardware end inject media does something bad to your computer?
Please for how long will it take to restart
I have the icon but when I press it it says it is still running and I can't find where to stop it so I can safely eject the external hard drive....Can I stop it in the device manager?
Did he ever answer you? I don't see a reply here in the comments.
No, I was able to figure it out , in the file explorer I am able to close it by clicking the top left ...end or close I can't remember what it said when I had the hard drive in and if that doesn't work I just turn off the computer.....but it seems to work, Thank you for asking
Does restarting windows explorer removes any inportant files? Is it safe?
My external HDD has no eject icon and when trying the first method i cannot even find it ?
The last method is the best.. and it worked for me... Thanks
Which one? A third party app or stopping explorer.exe from the task manager?
Thank you very much, restarting windows explorer was the solution
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH METHOD #2 WORKED FOR ME YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER !!!
I opened my task manager and I have FOUR Windows Explorer {explorer.exe} processes that seem to be running under the Processes tab. Only one of them seems to be using CPU power though, a very small percentage.
Which one do I stop?
Stop three of them and restart the last one.
Note: If you stop all explorer.exe, it will shut down your computer, but it will automatically restart.
Skip ahead to the 2:15 point! It's the easiest and quickest solution.
restarting file explorer works. Thanks man god bless you!
Legend
None of the options worked for me. I was kinda doubting how restarting Windows Explorer would work from the task manager, since I had restarted my entire computer and that didn't work either.
I think the best way to fix it might be to install Linux :/
It's possible that you did everything correctly but did not remove the hardware when it should have been removed. You can remove the hardware without the "safely remove hardware" notice, and then plug it in again. The icon should reappear.
Great video thank you
Can it work in window 7?
How the fuck do you remove that icon, it's super annoying
