    Safe to remove


    On 1 of 4 1809 machines, I lost the "safe to remove message" The ports are ok and the usb stick is ok because the led goes out.
    Does anyone have a fix that "really" works ?

    Thanks

    @ken1943 -

    Please check PC Settings -> System -> Notifications and Actions and ensure that the following setting (and those below it) are set to "On." Now check.

    If no good, add this step:

    PC Settings -> Privacy -> Background apps. Make sure that "Let Apps Run In The Background" is switched to "On."

    Let us know.

    That is the way I have it. Guess I am looking for something in the Registry ?

    Do you know how to delete the appropriate Root Hub for this device via Device Manager?

    Be careful.

    Could figure it out. Only 3.0 hub on this laptop.

    Delete the appropriate USB Root Hub, let the Laptop PnP itself and create a new USB Root Hub.
    Ensure that all USB devices are disconnected prior to doing this.

    Let's see if that works.

    Nothing seems to work.The Intel drivers are no where near what is installed and HP has nothing that I could find. Will ask on the HP forum where they hid it.

    Thanks for you help

    Try disabling your Emisoft AV software, see if that helps
    What is the Make and Model# of your Computer or Motherboard? go to the manufactures Support/Download Drivers site type in your Make and Model# and download the Chipset Driver.

    I think I am at the end. Nothing has worked. Was something that 1809 screwed up or a hardware failure.
    Thanks for your help
