    Windows Explorer showing invalid Local Drive


    Recently Windows explorer is showing a new drive. When I click on it, it is not existent. I read other questions and saw information about using diskpart and disk management. I tried both running as administrator. In both cases, the new drive letter does not appear so I can't follow the instructions to remove it.


    I logged in as another user and the drive letter is not there. Only for one user.


    When I connect a USB drive it won't use that drive letter. I'm guessing its related to my user profile but no idea how to clear it.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
