Safely Remove Icon not working properly
Hello Everybody! I'm new here.
I just upgraded to Windows 10 1511 (November Update), and saw the new (modernized) Safely Remove icon in the system tray - and the problem, it's not working properly.
Here's my screenshot:
Whereas before:
(I know, it's a Windows 7 Screenshot, I found it online, it's just for reference)
As we can see from the comparison, mine only shows the second row, that being the device description (Name and drive letter), and no longer shows "Eject Storage Device".
So the safely remove icon in the system tray is now practically useless. I search over, and found no one with the same issue, nor did I find any direct fix. I shutdown and reboot a couple of times, tried different USB devices and ports, I also did try a couple of related tweaks, like changing the removal policy, and scan for hardware changes, etc - but still, no luck.
Though note, the eject function is still available through file explorer:
If anyone knows any fix, please help! Thank you.
