Why does Drive D not display in File Explorer Windows 10 Home Version 21H1 Installed on 8/‎11/‎2020? The drive displays in Disk Management and I can open the drive from Disk Management. If I change Drive D to Drive F or after it will not display in File Explorer. This behavior seems to have begun after the last feature update successfully installed on ‎7/‎16/‎2021.

    Hi there,

    When looking for attached hard drives or USB flash drives using Windows Explorer, you may notice that some drives are not seen in Windows Explorer or the drive may disappear after a short time or when Windows resumes from Sleep or Hibernation. This can be caused by any of the following:

    Your drive does not have a drive letter assigned to it in Disk Management

    The drive may be disabled or offline

    Your USB driver may be corrupted

    Corrupted registry keys may be causing issues with connecting to your Disk

    I suggest you try the Resolution in the below link and see if that is Helpful
