Windows 10: Accessing USB Drive in CMD without knowing Drive Letter

I have a launcher batch-file on an USB-Stick, which launches a programm in the same folder. But when I run the launcher as administrator, the path gets changed, so it doesnt find the programm to start. I dont always know the drive letrer, what can I do?

help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.

 

Recovery cmd can only access usb flash drive

Whenever I try to access my main drive from the recovery cmd it just goes to my usb flash drive. I have done the list vol stuff and it says the only one accessible is the usb flash drive. How do I access my main drive from the recovery cmd?
