Windows 10: System drive that should be hidden from view appearing as user drive

Hi, I've hidden this drive from view a zillion times, but the pest always comes back.

Last time it has worked for some time, but now is plaguing me again.


First time I used diskpart, selected the disk and partition and them set letter to none, but the issue is

solved but then comes back.

Does anybody have any idea how I can solve this once and for all?


The drive that's showing as Z: is the Disk 0 partition 1 yellow.

Stop system volume information appearing on pen drives.

Hi Lee,

Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

I appreciate you for providing details about the issue and we are happy to help you.

The System Volume Information folder is a hidden system folder that the System Restore tool uses to store its information and restore points.

You can prevent the system from creating restore points in your Pen drive by following these steps:

• 
  Type system restore in the search bar and select
  Create a restore point.
  
• 
  Enter password if the system prompts.
  
• 
  Select System protection tab and click on the
  Configure button.
  
• 
  Under Restore settings click on
  Disable System protection option.
  

Now that you have disabled the restore points from being created on the Pen drive, you can now take ownership of the system volume information folder and delete it. System volume information folder is a hidden system folder and usually you don’t have
access to it. So, you have to first take ownership of the folder and then delete it. Connect the Pen drive and follow the below steps:

• 
  Press Windows + E from the Keyboard to open the File Explorer.
  
• 
  Select View menu and click on Options drop down.
  
• 
  Click on Change folders and search options.
  
• 
  Select View tab and under Advanced settings click on
  Show hidden files, folders and drives option.
  
• 
  Click on Apply and Ok.
  
• 
  Now, go to the Pen drive and right click on the Volume system information folder and click on
  properties.
  
• 
  Click the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click
  Change.
  
• 
  Type the name of the person you want to give ownership to and click
  Check Names.
  
• 
  The user name that you’re giving ownership to should be display, click
  OK.
  
• 
  If you want that person to be the owner of files and subfolders in this folder, select the
  Replace owner on sub containers and objects check box and click
  OK.
  
• 
  Now, you can delete the folder.
  

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.

 

Windows 10 fails to create a Recovery Drive and turns 64GB Flash into a 32GB Flash!

Hello,

Appreciate the detailed post. As per the description of the issue, this can be caused by hidden files. For us to check, follow the steps below:

• Search for File Explorer and press Enter.
• Click on View.
• Put a check mark on the Hidden items box.
• See if there are additional files and folders that will appear.

If there are no hidden items, we suggest that you
create a new user profile. Since the issue is the same on different flash drives, this can also be caused by a corrupted user profile. Try creating a recovery drive in the new user profile and let us know if it works.

Get back to us if anything else comes up.
