Thanks for the tip. I'll tell my wife about that product, as she has been having eject problems.

I've had no problem with WUMT wrapper script, which I installed ydy. after Win. Update had downloaded lots of updates over what I said was a metered connection.

Thanks. For me everything works fine again now that wpnuserservice is running. One might think that if it were needed, the system would start it, but that is not the case.

I click the icon and choose Eject. I get no message. The icon is still there, but clicking it again does nothing. I do indeed have Quick Removal set, so in theory I don't really have to Eject.

This has happened only after I applied the 1703 update: I insert a USB drive. I click on the 'Safely Remove' icon in the notification area. I click 'Eject'. No 'Safe to remove' message appears. This...
