Hi CWBillow,
I apologize for a delay with the response.

Can you try the version 6.0, you can find it here: https://safelyremove.com/allVersions.htm . Will it hide the native icon?

Hi,
I've just replied to your another support inquiry, check your inbox please.

Hi ronaldscact,
What version of USB Safely Remove you are using (to see it, right click to the program icon in the system tray, choose Help -> About program)? What certain command you use for return?

Hi caribous2 , Actually Microsoft just changed the default policy for device removal, earlier that was Better performance now it's Quick removal. You were able to change this policy earlier by yourself and you can change it now if you need. But that doesn't mean there's no need in safe removal. In c...

Max.A, Initially you've asked about forced stop. Forced return may not work in this version under some circumstances: when you have two or more drives connected to the same USB hub (we call these drives as "neighbor devices"). I'll try to explain what caused the issue and how to workaround...

Max.A.,
Yes, it's possible, see forcedstop command line option: command line manual

Hi Max,
Both commands are actual for the command line tool. It seems the online manual is outdated. I've just fixed it and added description for both of the commands. Many thanks for your attention!

Hi Max.A,
I'm terribly sorry for so long response, I've missed your question here.

Yes, it's normal, since in order to reactivate the device we restart the whole USB hub where it's connected to. In the following version we will likely implement an option to stop and return it without the hub restart.

Hi JohnC998, In theory a malicious software can access your drive's content even when it's safely removed or disabled. First it can return it back the same way as our software does (by restarting the USB hub). But it's not easy since when the device is safely removed there's no way to know it was a ...
