Why is my Programs drive missing from the list in quick access?


Recommended Posts

So I Just happened to notice that my D Programs drive is missing from the menu to the left in Windows Explorer... It is a fresh install, and I did change drive letters if that matters... can I get it back in this list??

Hello!

It's default behavior. I assume that F:\ and E:\ are external drives?

My local drives are under This PC.

So File Explorer is showing storage from different locations:

  • This PC (under which are local drives)
  • Mapped Network drives
  • External USB drives
  • The Network (under which, my NAS)

You could drag the drive to Quick access to see it all the time, but in my case when I expand This PC, the local drives remain in view even when I close and reopen the window.

That's odd.. the only external drives I have plugged in is E and F.. E is a USB drive and F is just a flash drive I use for BIOS updating. D is a RAID0 I use and are 2 M.2 drives.
