Life is too short to safely remove USB drives. #Microsoft #Windows10 #Build1809 https://t.co/emt19xbpoI — Karl Widmer April 8, 2019 Using Windows 10, Microsoft users can now, by default, swiftly remove their USB drives without inducing paranoia or dread. Dubbed “quick removal,” the new default setting keeps external storage devices ready to be pulled “at any time,” according to Microsoft Windows support, as long as users aren’t actively saving files to it. And computer users no longer have to go through the “safely remove hardware” process to know that they can safely remove their hardware.
The updated device policy can be used to “better meet your needs,” Microsoft said in an update on version 1809 of the Windows 10 operating system.As the Verge reported, the switch to make “quick removal” the default setting took place last year, when version 1809 was released, but Microsoft is now broadly rolling out the update and detailed the change last week. Last month, Microsoft said more than 800 million devices were running Windows 10.
