    Safely remove hardware not working


    This took me awhile to figure out. Thought this would help other people.
    Open event viewer. Select Windows Logs on the left. Select system also on the left. You are likely to have a lot error messages. Select filter current log on the right. On the line above task category type 225 for the event id. Read the messages and you will get clues why you can not safely remove hardware.

    You no longer need to Safely Remove Hardware for any USB device. Windows now automatically Disables Write Caching for USB drives.

    However, you will still need Safely Remove Hardware for any USB device if you want to live dangerously and enable Write Caching.
