    Hello Gerald, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

    Unfortunately, turning off the "Windows Backup" message is only to stop the message to remind you about setting up or creating a backup. It's not going to stop this error message.

    What is the full message when you click on the "INSERT REMOVABLE MEDIA ERROR" link from the notification area?

    If this is for Windows Backup, then you'll need to either turn off the automatic backup schedule and create one manually when you have you removable media connected, or leave the removable media connected.

    Hope this helps for now,
    Shawn

    Gerald,

    It seems like either the drive letter may have been changed or you do not have the correct removable media connected that you set your backup to be saved to when it runs automatically on a schedule. When the backup runs, it seems that it can't find the drive that you set it to be saved to, and giving you this error.

    What is the full message when you click on the Insert removable media (Important) link from the notification area on your taskbar?

    What does it say when you click on the Options button?

    Do you have the drive that you set to save your backups to connected, and turned on if it's an external HDD?

    Look in your Backup and Restore window like below to see what drive letter it is set to save the backup to, then check to see if the drive letter for the drive you have connected to save it to is the same or not. For example, mine is set for my Test D: drive.

    Yep, that was the issue. You had backups set to run automatically on a schedule and be saved to a CD/DVD drive. Since the CD/DVD drive is empty when the scheduled time to run the backup approached, that's why you are getting the "Insert removable media" error. It was just wanting you to insert a blank unformatted CD/DVD so it could do the backup.


    No problem. Doing this below will stop all of this for you. :)

    You can click on the Turn off schedule link to stop backups from being automatically created. The tutorial below can help show you more on how to if needed.

    Maybe worth a look in Task Scheduler > Microsoft > Windows > Windowsbackup
    All set to disabled?

    Odd, turning off the backup schedule using OPTION ONE didn't stop it from creating backups??

    Backup Files Schedule - Turn On or Off

    If not, then disabling the WindowsBackup tasks in the middle pane as 4wd posted above should stop it.
