    Can't find the C drive in Windows 10

    All the suggestions above work, however, the easiest way to find C Drive is to type>This PC in the search box>Right click on>This PC and choose pin to taskbar. The hiding of C Drive and other Drives is another one of Microsoft's one-step forward and three-steps
    back.

  3. 2nd Drive Files not Showing in Quick search

    Hi all,

    Background: I'm running Windows 10, anniversary update; with two physical drives, each also shown as a logical volume (C and D).

    Issue: When searching from the Start menu, files on my C drive show up, however the ones on D do not.

    Troubleshooting I have done so far:

    • Verify that the 2nd Drive (D) has indexing enabled
    • Verify that the folders on the drive also have indexing enabled
    • Rebuild index
    • The files DO appear when searching the 2nd drive via Windows Explorer, but NOT through the start search
    Is this a known issue, and what steps can I take to resolve this?

    Method: 1

    • Press “Windows + E” and select “This pc”.
    • Select the “C: drive”.
    • Click on “Users”.
    • Select the account that you are logged in.
    • Select the option “Searches”.
    Method: 2

    • Type the name of the “file or folder” in the “search bar”.
    • Click on the “file”.
    • On the top of the screen click on the “address bar”.
    It will give you the location of the files & folders.
