Support team, please read and try to understand the question. Then answer it.

How to remove flash or thumb or pen drive from a tablet running windows 10 in tablet mode?

Try this:

1. Press and hold on an empty space of the bottom panel, to open context menu
2. In that context menu click on "Show all notification icons" to enable that
3. After that you'll see a little ^ pictogram in the notifications area, like in a desktop mode, so click on it to open and youll find same notification icon for flash drive as in a desktop mode, so you can eject it same way.

p.s. shame on Microsoft for their response

Lol... yes ... the first reply was pathetic ..happening too often these days .... an answer i'd expect from Dell or Apple ... or a call center staffed with a  recent MCSE cert. (sorry MS, love your products, you partner support and a bunch of other stuff ... but I don't hire fresh MCSE and consumer support is spotty to say the least ...)
