Windows 10 "Safely Remove Hardware & Eject Media" stopped working for all any any USB device?

E

Event2020

Windows 10 Home 64 bit
Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363

This has suddenly stated to happen - no matter what USB device I plug in to any USB port, USB Stick, USB Audio Interface, USB Headphones, USB Hard Drives, the Safely Remove Hardware & Eject Media has stopped working.

By this I mean when you hover a mouse icon over it the normal popup message is not displayed and when you click on it nothing happens at all. Also when you plug a new USB device into the laptop windows no longer make the pinging sound.

I should say that anything I plug in works as expected except when I want to disconnect sid device I have to restart the machine and whip the USB device out as the laptop reboots.

I have tested all of my USB devices in two other machines (A laptop & a PC) and they all work fine and can be ejected by the "Safely Remove" icon on those machines.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
