Windows 10: False indication of Locked Drive

What is the problem:When I open "This PC", double clicking on either C: or D: does nothing no error response nor feedback.There are no Event Viewer entries when I tried to double click the drives.If I right click and select "Open" or "Open in new window", both drives can be accessed.Accessing files directly either from the File explorer or the terminal works fine, so it is not a permissions issue.I find it weird that there is an "Unlock" option in the context menu when I right clicked both drives, when I can access both drives:Both drives are partitioned from the same physical disk as shown:

False Boot Drive?


I have two disks listed as boot devices when my computer boots up, however I want to skip selecting the disk and boot directly to my SSD (Disk 1) instead. The other drive listed(Disk 3) just goes to a blank screen when selected.

In This PC the icon for Disk 3 is faded. There is no blue bar indicating drive space. It is listed as USB Drive (G

In Disk Management, Disk 3 is listed as Removable with No media. There is no space available on the disk either.

From"CMD -> diskpart -> list disk" I get:
Disk 0 Online 298GB
Disk 1 Online 223GB
Disk 2 Online 465GB
Disk 3 No Media 0B

When disk 3 is selected and issued the command "Clean" I get the error "There is no media on the device"

What can I do to remove this false disk? There is nothing plugged into any USB ports that could be the problem. The problem has also persisted after multiple boots. It appears Windows is seeing a bootable flash drive that isn't real.
