Ensure Bluetooth Support Service is running (even you do not use Bluetooth!)
By default, the Bluetooth Support Service should be running. But I manually disabled it for optimization which caused the problems...
1. Open Start menu
2. Type services.msc -> Right click -> Run as administrator
3. Look for Bluetooth Support Service, double-click to open its Properties window
4. Make sure Startup type is NOT set to Disabled. I recommend setting it to Automatic (Delayed Start) so it does not slow down your computer at start up. Click Apply if you made any changes
5. Click Start to start the service
6. At this point, the safely remove hardware feature should be working again
7. Restart your computer and Devices and Printers should load correctly as well
Just sharing!
