    NVME drive shows up as a hard drive and a CD drive


    Hi.I recently built a new system. It has a Samsung NVME drive and no optical drives.For a couple of weeks, the only thing that showed up in the File Explorer is the NVME drive.But a couple of days ago [with no OS update as far as I can see], a "CD Drive" has shown up.

Only the data partition is labeled [with the "C drive"].I have a tool to hide
