Windows 10: Unrecognized disk drive

Hello
I have a strange problem : one of my disks has 2 partitions (G: and H
When I look at Disk Management, they are both displayed but I can only open H:
I get a "refused access" when I try to open G:
I open a comman windows as administrator - There I can access G:, list its content ...
I ran Chkdsk on G: No problem detected
I can even copy some folders from G: to another disk
So the disk and the partition are not corrupted
But as soon as I exit from the Command windows, the access to G: is refused (within Explorer, within a "normal" command window ...)
Any idea to fix this ? Thanks Have a good day

:)
