I've been using "Winsows 10" for almost "9 Years" and i've noticed that everytime i connect my "Keypad/Basic Phone" and i turn on the "USB Mass Storage" the main storage of my phone is "Greyed Out" and only the "Internal Storage & SD Card Storage" was ejectable, and when you try to "Safely Remove/Eject" the "Drive G & F" of my phone storage the "USB Tray Icon" still showing and the "Drive G & F" still showing on "This PC".
Is there a "Registry Tweak" to make Windows 10 "Safely Remove Hardware" show the "Main Keypad/Basic Phone Storage" to be Ejectable just like in "Windows 7/8/8.1"?
I've learned from a "Portable Third Party Application" called "HotSwap" that when you Stop one of the "Disk Drive" of your "Keypad/Basic Phone USB Mass Storage" it will become "Ejectable" and the "Safely Remove Hardware Tray Icon" will not be shown anymore, and also the "Drive G & F" of my "Featured Keypad Phone Storage" would not shown on "This PC" anymore if i "Safely Remove" it, and if you don't want to use a "Third Party Portable Ejection App/Tool" like "HotSwat, USB Disk Ejector, USB Safely Remove" etc. anymore to "Eject Phone Storage" you can try disable your "Main Keypad/Basic Phone Local Disk USB Device" in the "Device Manager".
Then your "Keypad/Basic Phone USB Mass Storage" will become "Ejectable", i thinks it's a Bug of "Windows 10 & 11" since "Windows 10 Build 1507".

Try the following Registry edit and check the issue:
Nothing happened!
I follow your "Instructions" but same issue still found, the "Main Storage" of my "Keypad/Basic Phone" still "Greyed Out", so i need to use "Portable Application" called "USB Disk Ejector" to Properly Eject my "Keypad/Basic Phone Main Storage", maybe it's a "Bug" of "Windows 10/11" since "Build 1507".
