Windows 10: Using MountVol for the First Time, Did I Unmount the Volume Properly?

I don't know if it's a security risk or anything to keep EFI mounted but I just want to put everything back the way it washere's the play by play:I used a free drive letter, which was 'E', since I don't have an E drive and typed "mountvol E: /s"then I typed "dir E:\efi\microsoft\boot\*.efi", which worked and gave me the list of boot files
