Missing right-click option...

When I want to remove my SanDisk USB drive from my computer, in Windows
Explorer I right-click on the drive and select "safely remove". Today the
"safely remove" option is missing from the right-click menu. How does that
happen and how can I get it back?

Thanks.

Hello Silas

Restarting the computer may restore it for you. If not, then you ca
use the "Safely Remove Hardware" shortcut below instead to do so

Hope this helps

Thanks Shawn, the reboot worked. I wish I knew what caused it to disappear
in the first place, though.
