OK. I clicked mine just for the heck of it, just to see what would happen. Screen flickered but that's it. Tried to find this registry hack but I don't have the entry they refer to in this thread:

Supposed fix

The 'Eject GPU' item can be completely removed by going to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvlddmkm key in the Windows Registry and setting SurpriseRemovalSupport to 0, then rebooting.

Yes. Saw that, but I don't have that key in the registry.

Updated post with pic....have to click on nvlddmkm to see registry entries....

Not that this is a big deal...will not fry your PC as far as I know...

Yea. Thanks. I thought I would see the key under the registry entry itself. Found it with your help. Rebooted and it's gone.

Can't tell clicking did anything as you suggest. Both of my cards are still working. ??

picked this somewhere else:

These drivers may add a new GPU-related 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' USB icon to the Notification Area. Nvidia has stated that: "This is part of the new beta support for external GPUs however this message will be removed from the next driver." It is harmless if left alone, but can be hidden under Settings>System>Notifications & actions>Select which icons appear on the taskbar. Furthermore, the drivers also add the Nvidia Backend and Nvidia Settings programs to your startup, even if you don't install GeForce Experience; both can be safely disabled as covered on this page of the Nvidia GeForce Tweak Guide, which I've now revised and clarified.

Update: The 'Eject GPU' item can be completely removed by going to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvlddmkm key in the Windows Registry and setting SurpriseRemovalSupport to 0, then rebooting.
