Hello,
I have recently built a gaming pc with a SSD Partitioned for Boot (Local Disk C:) and a separate partition (D:) for games, documents, media etc. and a HDD (E:) for additional game storage.
In disk management these are all recognized and healthy.
The issue I'm running into is when I'm navigating the Windows 10 (May update, clean installation) storage interface: Settings>Storage>View storage usage on other drives. I can see the file/storage breakdown of my C: Drive partition and of my entire HDD (E:), but NOT the other majority of my SSD (D:) partition where my immediate games and other media files are currently sitting. When I click on it to see the file breakdown, a medium-sized window appears, flickers and then the window closes.
Is this a known Windows issue? I have run windows memory diagnostics and did not detect any memory errors.
Thanks for you help in advance!

Hi Nick,
The disks looks fine in Disk Management. Are there any task with heavy I/O offload to D: drive running?
You could run chkdsk to try to fix errors on D: drive. You may open command prompt as administrator and run chkdsk D: /f.
You may also try sfc /SCANNOW to check the integrity of the protected system files.
Best Regards，
Ian
Hi Ian,
That did the trick! After running the first command I then scanned and found everything to be working smoothly. Thank you so much for your help!
Sincerely,
Nick
Hi Nick,
I'm glad it helps. You’re welcome.
Hi Ian,
It appears that only worked temporarily (since last restart). No other programs or files have been downloaded or installed. There was simply a restart that took action. I then tried to repeat the same action as last time, when it did work, and now it won't even provide me the information I was getting before. The scans are saying there are no errors that need to be fixed. The only thing that is pointed out worth noting is that there are 9 reparse files. Any other suggestions?
I really appreciate your help,
Nick
