Hi there

Anybody else get the problem of external USB volumes appearing TWICE in the file explorer list (Build 9860).




Not a show stopper but annoying.

Can't assign volume names in File Explorer

Mr. Kumar,

Please note that I am referring only to Windows 10 Professional (32 bit), not the Windows 8 to which you refer.

I did the SFC scan. It found some corrupt files and repaired them. However, File Explorer still refuses to list the assigned volume names of external USB hard drives or flash drives.

Am I the only one with this problem, or do other users of Windows 10 have the same results? When you plug in an external USB hard drive, does Windows 10 File Explorer show its assigned volume label or simply the generic "Local Drive"? How about USB flash
drives? Do they show up in File Explorer with their assigned volume labels or just with the generic "Removable Drive"?

Please try this on other Windows 10 systems and report the results here.

 

This has been posted multiple times and not only the external but the internal with more than one partitions on the disk.

 

Hi there

Must have missed it -- anyway it's still an issue with build 9860. However the Multiple partition on INTERNAL Disks seems to have been fixed -- I have C and D as two partitions on an internal SSD (and there's the hidden system one as well).

Volume D only shows up once.

However on EXTERNAL HDD's the multiple partitions problem is also still there. I can see TWO duplicate volumes when I connect a USB with TWO partitions.

If you click on a drive and look at the address bar it will say DriveX/This PC,
if you click on the mirror drive it will only say DriveX.
I'm guessing it may something to do with syncing devices, or how libraries gather content, or maybe something different.
It's a mystery.
