Multiple SYSTEM drives show in File Explorer.

While doing a system backup today on one of my machines using EaseUs Backup app, it failed to write to the usual folder on a USB external HD. I investigated and found the folder could not indeed be written too. I disconnected the drive and connected it to another PC and found that I could not access the drive there also. The only thing I could do was to reformat it then it worked although all the previous files and folders were gone.

I reconnected the drive to the Laptop, opened File explorer using the “This PC” shortcut on the Desktop and immediately saw that in addition to the original Drive C and D (a partitioned 1TB SSD) I had 7 seven extra System Drives show up as drive E through K. Each with a size of 256 MB.

They do not show up in Disk Management. *Huh

Any suggestions, I have never encountered this phenomenon before.

This solution did not work in Win 7 and does not work in Win10.

It is definitely high risk - you will definitely lose internet explorer if you turn the feature off.

The "new" internet explorer icon at the bottom only lets you run one tab at a time.

However, I still have the "old" icon on the desktop and it allows multiple incidences of internet explorer.

Geez - why is this changed and why can't someone come up with the real solution -- or a workable alternative.

I am sure this a feature and not a bug.
