"Safe to remove hardware" notification missing (NOT the taskbar icorn)

[gb1964]

When I click the taskbar icon to safely remove a USB device, I do not receive the "safe to remove" notification. I'm talking about the notification (use to be a balloon message prior to Windows 10). Under Win 10, it's supposed to be a slide in notification at lower right of screen, which does not appear on my ASUS X02E, which has s totally clean Windows 10 install (I wiped my drive, then installed Windows 10 from scratch). All devices show O.K. in device manager.

Did you check the notification center to make sure the notifications for that were not turned off? You can control that per app it seems in 10 as I turned it off for a few things.

I have had the same problem intermittently. I seem to think it has something to do with Windows updates. I'm not sure but it has always happened to me whenever Windows has been updating. I can only guess the updates are upsetting something in the system. The next time I have started up Windows the notifications have been working again.

I had the same issue on three different machines and found that notifications were set to "Quiet Hours" through the "Notifications" taskbar icon.

I have this problem. I think i once turned this option off and now I can't remember where or how. How do I turn it back on. I did not understand the instruction given above. thanks

The problem I had was not seeing any notifications, like new mail or anti-virus update.

Right click on the “Action Center icon” on the taskbar notification area. An option menu will appear with an on/off control for Quiet Hours.

Open “Settings > System > Notifications and actions” and turn on “Show notifications on the lock screen”. Also consider turning on “Show alarms, reminders and incoming VOIP calls on the lock screen”.
