Aren't verbosity settings related to jAWS messages only? Perhaps it has something to do with accessing this from the system tray. I do not do this; if I have a thumb drive plugged in I just pull it out when I'm not using it, and my external drives are almost always plugged in -- if I want to remove them, I go to device manager and do it from there, and also get the message. So maybe, try that....

Not sure if verbosity settings would affect receiving this message, but my computer is over 12 years old, and if I'm still getting the safe to remove message, with my verbosity levels set to medium, then everyone else's should be getting it too, but again, I don't know what's it's like for advanced verbosity users, so take what i said with a grain of salt. It could also be that you're interrupting speech before you can hear the message, because, as I said, I always get it, without fail.

I'm running Windows 10, 1803, with JAWS 2018, May update. I recently noticed that when I go to the system tray to remove a drive, I no longer receive the message that it's safe to remove the drive. Another friend called me yesterday with the same issue. I just assume that it's safe. If I go back to the system tray before removing the drive, the option to remove it shows as unavailable, as it should. I don't know how to capture or replay those fleeting messages with JAWS. If I virtualize the window, JAWS says there's no text. I haven't had a sighted person look at the screen. I can use the context menu on the drive, but again, I get no spoken message. On another matter, has anyone else seen multiple copies of JAWS shown in the system tray after JAWS was shut down and restarted? Shouldn't JAWS be removed if it's shut down. This happens with both insert-f4 and insert-windows-f4. Sometimes my save as menu won't work in Word. If I shut JAWS down and bring it back, the menu reads as it should. I much prefer running JAWS from the system tray, so that it won't be in the alt-tab line up. Sorry I don't have an answer for you, and maybe a lot of us, about disappeared messages. Smile.

Whenever I want to eject / remove an external harddrive I click on the system tray icon, choose the device, and press enter on it, but Jaws doesn't report the following: Safe To Remove Hardware: The 'USB Mass Storage Device' device can now be safely removed from the computer. Can anyone tell me how to get Jaws to report the message above? Or, what setting is supposed to be activated to report the message above? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks mooy moocho. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree.
