Windows 10: How to change the name of removable disk storage in the file explores that renames...

Hello,I need help with this issue, I have a PC that renames all removable disk storage flash drives when plugging in. The renaming issue only appears in the drive letter E:, another drive letter is fine. I checked the disk management info and the name of my flash drive was correct meanwhile the file explores wrongly shown see attachment. I tried changing the flash drive's name and formatting it at first it worked, but on the second plugging its name changed again, but all of it isn't worked. How should I fix this issue?

Can't rename "Local drive" in File Explorer

Hi,
Thank you for posting on Microsoft community forums.

I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

• How exactly did you change the Name of the Partition?
  
• Is any drive letter assigned to the Disk Drive in Disk management?
• Are you able to access the contents in the Hard drive form File explorer?

I would like to suggest you to Try assigning the Drive Letter and then change the name of the drive in Disk management.

Note: You must be logged on as an administrator
to perform these steps.

• Press Window + R key and type diskmgmt.msc
• Right-click the partition or drive that you want to change.
  
• Then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
• Assign a drive letter if one has not already been assigned,
  
• Click Add, click the letter that you want to use and click
  OK
• Click Start and type This PC and right click on the drive.
• Select properties and change the Name.
• Click apply and OK.
• Close and reopen the This PC and check.

I would also suggest you to change a drive letter, click Change, click Assign the following drive letter, click the letter that you want to use, and then click OK.

To remove a drive letter, click Remove, and then click yes to confirm that you want to remove it.

Keep us informed if the issue is resolved. We are glad to help you further.

 

File Explorer rename files with the same name when copying


Quite frankly I'm surprised no one has brought this up (or I am using the wrong search terms). When copying files in explorer, Windows 7 (I can't remember anything older than that LOL) I am asked what I want to do with copying files that have the same name as existing files in the destination folder. One click, keep the old file and rename the new one, bam, done. Now, trying the same thing in Win 10, I get a really stupid box, Replace the files in the destination (same as the old), Skip these files (ditto), or Let me decide for each file (abotu the same, I don't have any Win 7 boxes to check). So I click on Let me decide... and a list of all the files comes up with checkboxes for each and every one, and two to select all the files in one or both folders. So now I have an extra step compared to Win 7, I have to check off these boxes, then continue. All I had to do is click on copy and rename the files in Win 7. Does anyone else think this is a really stupid and unnecessary complication of a really common thing to do in Explorer? More to the point, is there some setting that I can turn off, to let it replace or rename everything with one simple mouse click? I've tried the old Robocpoy and Rich Copy and they're not acceptable, even more steps that explorer.

Slightly related question: is there a fully featured alternative to file explorer (by that I mean everything that Win 7 File explorer could do)? Coupled with other "deimprovements" like destroying the insanely useful "recent files & folders" in the folder pane every save/save as menu in every program and replacing it with the fatally flawed "Quick Access" I'm wanting to ditch it altogether. It would be really special if we just could revert to the old File explorer and make life a heck of a lot easier.
