Suddenly my C: drive does not appear in Windows Explorer. My SSD (E: ) and my DVD (D: ) do appear.
The computer works fine in all other respects.
Windows 10, Fall Creators Update.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Please post a screenshot of Disk Management, see this tutorial for instructions...

Thanks.
Looks OK to Me!
Just noticed I can see contents of C drive at "This PC > HDD (C: )"
1) Please re-post the disk management image using the information in this link:
(widen each status and volume columns so that the contents of each row is not cut off)

2) Open device manager > click view > show hidden devices > expand disk drives > post an image into the thread
3) Open file explorer > this PC > post an image into the thead
4) Open the BIOS > see if you can view disk drives > use a camera or smart phone camera to take a picture > post an image into the thread
Sorry for not doing that screenshot properly. Here is a screenshot of an explorer page to show what I mean.
In the left pane HDD (C: ) does not appear. But at the top This PC > HDD (C: ) does appear and its folders are listed correctly. Let me know if you need me to re-do the Disk Management screenshot.
Thanks for your help.
Your screenshot of File Explorer is just plain wrong!
You have selected 'This PC' in the navigation pane and what you should see in the right hand pane is a list of the 'Folders' and 'Devices and drives', in fact the same list as you see in the navigation pane beneath 'This PC'. Instead you are seeing the contents of your C: drive. It should look like this...
Do you have any other accounts you can sign in with? If so, does File Explorer behave the same 'odd' way?
Does it still look 'wrong' after a Restart?
Will try those things and get back. Glad you agree that something is amiss.
1) open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
4) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
5) chkdsk /scan
6) net user test /add
7) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread
8) shutdown /r
9) sign on with the new user named test
10) open file explorer > this PC > post an image into the thread
11) if the above does not work then reboot into safe mode

12) open file explorer in safe mode > post an image into the thread
