I have been running windows 11 for a couple of months, ive now encountered a problem with my C: Drive missing from file explorer, actully its the whole "Drives and disk" Missing. I can see my drive in Disk management, and its my only drive, the drive works fine with Explorer++(another file explorer) but cant be viewed under "My Computer", I have tried with views, and registry keys, and also my mapped drives i can see with "Net use" command, is also not shown in file explorer. Any one have any ideas? Its getting annoying

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to C: drive missing.

    1. Disable any Antivirus program or Windows firewall you may have for temporary purpose.
    2. From command prompt and run a few bootrec commands.(Press enter after each set of commands)

    Bootrec /fixMBR

    bootrec /fixBoot

    bootrec /rebuildBCD

    1. Go to > Disk Management, > "More Actions >" select "rescan disks". Then reboot your PC
