I just noticed that certain drives were not showing up in File Explorer in my main Windows 11 desktop. The drives were any flash drives and the Blue Ray optical drive. Note external HDD and SSD drives showed up OK. By trial and error I found out that if I changed the drive letters for them they started showing up.

Can anyone explain this? Is there something I can do to fix it so it doesn't happen again?

To summarize what I had to do:
  • I changed the flash drive from G: to H:
  • I changed the Blue Ray drive from M: to L:

drive leter changes #2.webp
