Windows 7 works fine. Windows 10 I cannot safely remove at all, ever, with USB 3 drives.
I tried disabling the link tracking client , that did not help.
I have indexing turned off for the drive.
Just because the lights aren't blinking doesn't mean all of the data is flushed. I'd rather not take the chance.
You all really find this acceptable? This is something the OS needs to do and needs to do reliably.
Anyhow, thanks for the help.
Better performance. The remove drive safely feature is for when you have the drive set to better performance. If you have it set to Quick Removal, then all of this doesn't matter (but you have low performance).
I should add that this was working properly at some time with Windows 10. It is broken now.
Hi,
I got that screen from properties in device manager
unless they have removed this option from win 10 (mine is a usb2 drive)
Hi there
Must depend on the device -- I've connected my USB3 device Via a SATA--->USB3 connector plugged in to a USB3 port on the computer.
Shows up as screenshot shown below.

Just checked with a couple of devices (this is win 8.1 though)
External drive I just get as my above screenshot
USB thumb drive I get additional write cache options
so options do vary quite a bit depending upon device
Well for my USB 3.0 UASP drive I get the options for Quick Removal or Best Performance/Write cache. It is just that "Savely Remove" doesn't work for the "Best Performance" which is what it is meant for. This is windows 10.
You won't see the options through the Disk Manager. You will only see it through the device manager and selecting properties for the disk there.
Hi there
My screenshot shows device manager -- I don't get any "performance" type options --just the shot I showed above.
Perhaps on USB3 devices the whole system is different.
