If you’re like most people, you probably have a drive hidden in Windows 10. This is because Windows 10 is a privacy-friendly operating system that doesn’t allow you to see or access your drives and files. But if you want to keep your drives hidden from prying eyes, there are a few things you can do. One way is to hide the drive by using the “Hide Drive” option in the “Drive” section of the “Windows 10 Settings.” Another way is to use the “Customize Desktop” setting in the “Desktop” section of the “Windows 10 Settings.” ichever method you choose, make sure that your drive is listed as one of the drives in the “Files and Folders” section of your computer’s main window. This will help keep anyone from seeing or accessing your drives without first asking for permission.
When you add a drive to your PC, by default it gets a drive letter, whether it is a removable drive or even a fixed hard drive inside of your PC. Lets take a look at how we can hide these drives.
Note: This will completely hide the drive, even from you. You’ll have to open up disk management to un-hide it.
To hide a drive you need to open a disk management snap-in, to do this right click on computer and select manage.
When the computer management MMC opens, double click on the storage option.
Now choose to open the disk management snap-in.
When the disk management console opens, look for the drive that you want to hide in the bottom section of the snap-in. Right click on it and choose the Change Drive Letter and Paths.. option from the context menu.
When the dialog box pops up hit the remove button so that it does not have a drive letter.
You will be prompted warning you that programs that use drive letters will no longer function, choose yes to continue.
That’s all there is to it guys, now when you go to My Computer the drive will be gone.
