The text you copied above should be output to the command line. Minimize all windows and then look on your desktop. You should see a new icon with the title "USB Hardware". Double click it and it will bring up the USB "Safely remove hardware" window. Sometimes Windows can go corrupt which can cause certain parts of Windows - including the USB "Safely remove hardware" feature - from appearing. In this case you can always try a third party utility to help you safely remove USB hardware from your computer, such as " Hotswap ".
There are other utilities available that do the same thing, but this one seemed to me to provide very similar functionality to the original USB "Safely remove hardware" window. Additional 1-on-1 Support: From Dennis The three methods I described above should definitely reinstate the USB "Safely remove hardware" - however, if for some reason that still doesn't fix the problem, you are welcome to contact me for additional 1-on-1 support using my remote desktop service.

Plug and Play is the service responsible for running the Safely Remove Hardware option, and it's possible that it may have stopped working.
Under the General tab, Service status should be Running. If it is not, click on the Start button to manually start it. On the same tab, you will notice that Startup type is set to Manual. You can select Automatic from the dropdown menu there.
Though the option is enabled by default, you can turn it off. The drawback is that Windows will disable write caching which will reduce the performance of your connected devices.

If this option was already selected, then you know why the Safely Remove Hardware icon was missing. To bring it back, select Better performance and click OK. Some users have reported that switching back and forth between these two options also helped them resolve the missing icon issue.
If you still haven't managed to bring the icon back, then take a look at a couple of inconvenient solutions that might be a bit tricky for you. You can stop the process manually and eject media or remove the USB device. A new dialog box will pop up. You can select the USB device and click on Stop before removing it safely.
If you use the Safely Remove Hardware option often, then you can create a desktop shortcut for it. No need to mess with the notification tray icon anymore. To create a desktop shortcut for Safely Remove Hardware dialog, right-click anywhere on your desktop and select Shortcut under New.
It's entirely possible that your Windows 10 drivers are not up to date or some of them are corrupt. To update device drivers, right-click on the Windows icon Start button and select Device Manager. Click on Update driver. That should initiate the processing of fetching the new driver and let you pick to install them automatically. If the problem persists, go to the same menu again and select Uninstall device.
