File Explorer Does not display "Devices And Drivers" C drive and Other Drives Not Visible

Question

Hi, recently the domain controller was rebuilt on my network. However after this change my C:\ drive, USB drives and the CD / DVD drives do not appear on This PC. I can access them by typing the drive letters (example C:\ ). But File Explorer Does not display "Devices And Drivers" C drive and Other Drives Are Not Visible. I am attaching a snapshot (1) of this issue and a second snapshot (2) to show that there are no issues in Disk Management.

This problem is across all my computers on the network. I applied some steps such as restarting Windows Explorer on my PC but nothing happened. I am just wondering if this is a problem that has to to with settings being pushed from the domain controller to all my PC's and what solutions are there that will be thru/at the domain controller or otherwise. Thank you for all your help in advance.

Hi ,

With Group Policy Objects in Windows, there is a Hide these specified drives in My Computer option that lets you hide specific drives. As picture below:

Please check if you configure anything here. For more details about using Group Policy Objects to hide specified drives, you could refer to the following article:
