Basically what the title says:

Card Ejectable

https://www.pcworld.com/article/2850238/a-windows-11-bug-is-asking-users-to-eject-their-gpu-dont-do-it.html

Is it still a bug? If so, fix it instead of removing questions talking about it.

Hi ,

No way, I recommend not ejecting it, just ignore it.

This is apparently a bug, but there's no direct confirmation from Microsoft.

Some users managed to resolve it by redoing the default driver installation. Others resolved it with a BIOS update. There's no definitive solution for this bug, but I know there are several different solutions. One I've seen work was this one, but it was with another user.

In my case, I had something with an Asus TUF, and after updating the BIOS, the bug simply went away. it disappeared.
