Warning message appear when I disconnect phone from PC?

Hello everyone,

My Samsung Galaxy Note 8 phone will not appear in safely remove hardware of my Windows 10, I did not do any step to safely remove hardware before I unplug the usb cable and this message will appear.

This message will appear whenever I unplug my Note 8 cable from the USB port. How to prevent this message from appearing? Does it mean I am unplugging in a unsafe way that could damage my phone?

Thanks

If you right-click the device in the Windows Explorer device list, is there an Eject option?

Another thing you could do is to swipe down the notification panel, select the USB option, then change it to Charge Only before unplugging. But in general, as long as there's no data transfer going on, it shouldn't harm the phone to unplug.

I right-click the device in the Windows Explorer device list, no an Eject option.

I swipe down the notification panel, I don't see select the USB option, where is this USB option?

Your using a USB drive to your device?

"Your using a USB drive to your device?" What does this mean, what device?

Windows 10 PC one USB port cable is connected to Note 8, and another USB port is connected to Sandisk cruzer micro flash drive (thumb drive) (drive E) plugged into the USB port of the PC.

These are the screenshots

Right click on Note 8 no eject button, right click on flash disk (thumb drive) USB drive E has eject button, screenshot https://i.imgur.com/8REPfBH.png

I inserted USB flash drive (drive E as shown in screenshot) is to do the screenshots to show the differences above.

I am using Samsung original cable. I have tried other cable and it shows the same thing.

Drive E is nothing related to phone, not phone, not note 8. Just a flash drive plugged into PC for the purpose of doing screenshots as a comparison.

Ok thought your connecting a USB drive to the Note 8 but that wouldn't register to computer even so, I recommend trying pos#4 I mentioned before
