Hello everyone, I had my usb drive connected to the pc, and by mistake I went to the Action Center and I clicked "Turn off notifications for this group". So, now when I click to remove a usb or any device, I don't get the "safe to remove hardware" notification anymore. All notifications in setting are set to on, but still no pop up. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.
To eject the currently connected device, open command prompt and type-
rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll then Enter.
To enable icon again, go into Action Center>Taskbar>Select which icons appear ***>Windows Explorer safely remove *** and turn On. Plug in a usb stick and if icon still missing, open Task Manager, close Windows Explorer process, let it restart. Should re-appear.
Good tip.To eject the currently connected device, open command prompt and type-
rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll then Enter.
BTW, it can also be run from WinKey + R
" it can also be run from WinKey + R"
Bree; even easier !
@ nightpain - you can also create a shortcut by r-click on desktop>New>Shortcut.
Put rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll in 'Type the location of ***'>Next and name it, like 'Safely eject' and you have a backup method if icon disappears again.
