"Safe to remove" USB notification bubble stopped appearing
Version 1903, OS build 18362.720
This problem seems to come around every once in a while, and it's mystery that seems designed to infuriate users. One way they do this is fixing something that wasn't broken in the last version. Another way is hiding things.
Earlier today, my PC returned the "safe to remove" bubble above the system tray when I removed a USB drive. This evening, it's gone.
Last time this happened, it was a matter of turning off Quiet Hours, but that's been replaced with the mysteriously named Focus Assist, which doesn't make any difference (it's turned off). Neither does turning on Get Notification from Apps and Other Senders (it's turned on).
On gpedit.msc under User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Start Menu and Taskbar, "Turn off balloon notifications" is disabled.
There's a fix in a few places that references:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings\Microsoft.Explore r.Notification.{...}
but that folder doesn't exist, and the name noted (copied from some web page) isn't complete, so I can't create it.
This is something that should be easy to fix, but it's not.
Please help? Thanks.
