Windows 10: Can't edit drive letter in disk manager

I have a recovery partition on my laptop which is currently assigned drive letter E: I am continually getting notifications that the drive is full. The notifications are getting super annoying.


I was going to unassign the drive letter so that I don't get the notifications. When I open disk manager and select the drive, the only option I get is help. There are no options for changing the drive path like I see on the other drives. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

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.

 

Cannot add/change drive letter in disk management or map network drive.

I need to connect portable HDD to my PC but the drive is not showed up.(Another PC worked normally) When I try to assign drive letter in drive management.(Volume is appeared in Disk Management as NTFS but no drive assigned) Drive letter list is greyed out except
"Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" and map network drive also, drive list is empty. So, i don't really know what to do at this
problem.
