Windows 10: Unknown drive listed under optimize drives

My PC seems to be misbehaving lately, so I explored various options. I checked "Defragment and Optimize Drives" tool and was presented with the display shown below. What is the 3rd entry beginning with \\?\Volume{... ? Is it something that should concern me? Can it be corrected?

Volume defrag

You can actually remove it from the list of the drives you want to optimize on a regular schedule. To do so, kindly follow these steps:

• Search for Defragment and Optimize drive.
• Under Optimize Drives, click the Change settings button.
• Under Optimization schedule, click the Choose beside Drives.
• Uncheck the \\?\Volume drive to remove it from the list.

We would appreciate an update about how it went.

I guess you're correct regarding the recovery partition.

 

It's a 'virtual drive' that gets put into action when a recovery process takes place.

Was this created when I created an USB recovery drive?

I'll try the steps you showed in your response.
