Windows 10: Hide the empty drive slots from the Performance Tab in Task Manager?

The Performance Tab in Task Manager on my PC includes empty card reader slots as drives. How do I hide the empty slots/drives from the Performance Tab in Task Manager?

Included in the tab are:

CPU

Memory

Disc 0 (C: D

Disk 1 (J

Disk 2 (E

Disk 3 (F

Disk 4 (H

Disk 5 (I

Ethernet

GPU 0

The drives E:, F:, H:, and I: are card reader slots that are empty, and not in use. They shouldn't appear since they are empty, yet they remain. I wish to remove them from the Task Manager, but I don't know how.

Windows 10 Home version 2004 (OS Build 19041.630)

AMD Athlon II X4 630 Processor 2.80 Ghz
8 GB Ram

Task Manager - Startup tab

Actually, I like your suggestion as a first step.

Unchecking the wrong thing in Autoruns can brick a system.

 

Windows 10 Task Manager RAM Slots Indicator

In Windows 10, on the performance tab, under memory in task manager, it says "Slots used: 1 of 2"

I was wondering if this is reliable. Searching my laptop online suggests that it only has one slot. Is it worth buying an extra stick of RAM or should I open it up first to check?

 

Task Manager Performance tab shows drive C: usage at 89% always.

I have a Windows 10 Pro system with all updates installed. The Task Manager Performance tab shows C: usage at 89% all of the time with only slight variations in the percentage. The Processes tab shows disk usage at about 40%. The only process using the disk
is System.

Disk defragmentation is disabled. File indexing is disabled. There are only five apps listed on the Startup tab including OneDrive and Windows Security Notifications. I have disabled the other three with no change in C: usage.

I have other PCs running the same version of Windows that do not have this problem. The only thing that is unique about the system with the problem is that C: is a software RAID 1 array consisting of two identical 4TB drives configured as RAID 1 in Disk
Manager. Is it normal for Task Manager to show continuous disk access for a Windows RAID 1 array? Any other suggestions? Thanks.
