Hello, I’m looking for advice on resolving this problem: Windows 10 just installed. When mounting an external or virtual drive as “Z:\”, it doesn’t appear in Windows Explorer. However, it shows up in the Disk Management tool. I can still access it via Windows Explorer by typing “Z:”. If another letter is used (like Y:, NSmile, the drive appears normally. What should I do?

Located the answer, if anyone faces the same problem: https://skillforge.com/hide-drives-in-wi...y-setting/ In my situation the drive was concealed through HKLM rather than HKCU.
