Since the advent of USB drives, users have been warned to "safely remove" them using the proper shutdown method. Windows, and not just pull out - but now that's changing. In Windows 10 In 1809, Microsoft changed the default setting for USB drives and other removable media. Now, you can simply pull them out of the port without first unplugging them.
The Quick Deletion mode is enabled by default. At the same time, there is another option - the "Improve performance" mode, which can be turned on and off for each device individually. It, as the name implies, allows you to speed up the work of a flash drive or drive, but it implies the impossibility of a quick shutdown. At the same time, it is activated forcibly.
Here's how you can do it:
- Connect the device to the computer.
- Right-click "Start" and select "Explorer".
- In File Explorer, enter the letter or label associated with the device (for example, a USB drive).
- Right-click "Start" and select "Disk Management".
- At the bottom of the Disk Management window, right-click the device shortcut and select Properties.
- Select "Policies" and then select the policy you want to use.
Microsoft suggests that when you select the "Improved performance" option, you also select "Enable device write caching". The company also notes that to disable such a drive, you will again have to use the "Safely Remove Hardware" feature. If you try to disconnect the drive without following the instructions for safe removal, there is a risk of data loss.
