Different behaviour after USB drive ejection TC/W10

docc · Post by *docc » 2016-08-10, 09:30 UTC

I realize a different behavoir after I eject the USB drive in W10 and in TC 9ß8:

TC9ß8: if I have an usb drive and I eject it using the the right mouse button chosing "Eject" (Auswerfen) and keep the usb stick still plugged in, the USB drive icon is still available but the drive cannot be used anymore. The drive icon will vanish as soon as I unplug the usb stick.

W10 1607: if I use the windows own procedure to eject the usb stick (via tray) the drive icon immediately vanishes also from the TC9ß8, even if the usb stick is still plugged in.

I would prefer to have the both methods working the same, especially as the ejection by TC will sometimes give some trouble.

Context menu item "Eject" is provided by Windows and works as is, it is not a TC feature. I'm pretty sure that you will get the same result if you click "Eject" in drive's context menu within Windows Explorer.

Hi MVV

>I'm pretty sure that you will get the same result if you click "Eject" in drive's context menu within Windows Explorer.<

sorry to say but this is not correct, in Windows explorer it worked correct but not in TC9ß8

Don't know about Win10 but it works in the same way in Win7: after "Eject" command from drive's context menu from both TC and Explorer I see tray popup but drive letter is still visible though can't be used. That's why I never used that command (I'm using USB Safely Remove tool instead).

Under W10 Anniversary Update the behaviour is like Docc described.
Never mind as I also only use the Tray icon
"Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media"
With this the drive vainishes immediately from Explorer and TC.

Horst.Epp,
So in W10 the same drive context menu command acts really differently from TC (32/64) and Explorer?

correct it behaves like I described and not like TC9ß8 64. From my point of view better to delete the possibility to eject in the context menu than to have an only half working command

Why should TC delete standard items provided by Windows? It is however a question why "Eject" volume context menu item works differently in TC and Explorer because both should call the same shell extension...

Well here the idrive icon is removed when I choose Eject when right-clicking the drive button - or the drive in the drive combo-box - or an empty space in the file panel in the rooot of the drive. I don't have to remove the USB-stick to see the icon dissapear.

Testet on Win 10 1511 - maybe it is a bug/changed behaviour in Win 10 1607.

Question - Will Win 10 offer the Anniversary update (1607) automatically, when ready for one's locale, or do I have to seek it up myself?

For me in Germany the Anniversary update came automatically on the very first day after its availablity as I checked for updates..
But Microsoft says the rollout happens in waves.

petermad,
Still, you can start the update yourself by clicking the "More information" link in the Windows update window, IIRC. This opens an Edge window where there should be a link to a download assistant.

Not necessarily. MS announced that the upgrade will be rolled out in waves, and that's what they do now. And I think it's a good idea since Win10 itself is an ongoing beta (so they want to be able to stop if any big issue pops up), but also to be able to handle the load caused by the number of systems worldwide.
