Restrict another admin from accessing a drive

Question

Hi, I need to hide my drive D from another administrator on my PC, so they can't open it.

I think it's done from the permissions settings, but I don't wanna mess anything up. Can anyone provide me with a step-by-step tutorial?

Thank you

I'm using Windows 10 pro - 21H2

Hi, SafiullahKakar you would have to encrypt that drive. You could use containerized users to prevent access to your user. Here are some links to these processes. How do I encrypt a second hard drive using BitLocker for Windows 8.1?

Hi, I'm Elise, and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

It’s not really possible to do this unfortunately, even if you remove the other user’s permissions, because they are an admin they could just add them back again.

Kind Regards,

Elise
