Windows 10: D drive disappeared after Win 10 update

My D drive no longer appears at File Explorer, My PC; or at Disk Management. Before this problem I am sure D drive was present at File Explorer, My PC; and at Disk Management. The problem started happening a few days ago around the time of the latest Windows 10 update, "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1903". I can not say for sure that the D drive disappeared after the update, but I think it is very likely. I checked Event Log to verify this, but it is filled to the maximum by warnings and errors, generated every 5 seconds, regarding the D drive problem, and does not extend back in time to the update.

The first sign of a problem was pop up messages in the lower right corner of my screen which I did not understand, so I deleted them. I do not recall what these messages said, something about something being disconnected. Then I realized my D drive had disappeared. Rescan Disk has no effect. My D drive is a large partition, about 2/3 of the total hard disk. No system Restore Points appear, they are erased by every update I believe. I would prefer to avoid downloading a third party application if possible.

Thanks for any help.
