    Hello all,

    Remove Drive Letter in Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials

    Open command prompt or windows powershell (Run as administrator)

    Type:

    mountvol [your desired partition]: /d and press Enter. OEM partition will be removed after that :) in my case I had E letter, Threadstarter has D letter so do like I wrote

    My case - mountvol E: /d
    Alexncfc case - mountvol D: /d and hit Enter button


    This is it :)

    This does not happen when performing fresh Windows Install. Only happens when you perform update.
    Even though the name was change from Recovery to OEM, the partition ID is still: DE94BBA4-06D1-4D40-A16A-BFD50179D6AC

    Removing the Drive Letter is not enough. You need to set the correct Attributes for this partition to prevent Drive Letter assignment.

    Open Admin Command and type:

    diskpart
    select disk # where # is the disk # of Windows
    select partition 1
    deltail par

    You should get the result as follows:
    Updated to 1803 via Windows Update - now D: OEM partition is showing-p1.jpg

    If not, from diskpart, set the partition ID and Attributes:

    set id=DE94BBA4-06D1-4D40-A16A-BFD50179D6AC override
    gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001

    NOTE: setting gpt attributes will prevent Drive Letter assignment on this partition.

    Here's how you remove it from OEM partition. Let's assume in this scenario that the OEM partition has letter F and it's listed as Volume 4. Here are the steps:

    1. Do a search for cmd and right click it and run As Administrator.
    2. Type the following commands one by one (hit Enter after each one of them):

    > diskpart
    > list volume
    > select volume 4
    > remove letter=F

    Done.

    Hello,
    I'm a new member, just joined to comment on this post.

    I also just updated to Windows 10 build 1803 and was presented with a new drive D.

    I do not see this as a minor issue. When I insert an SD card into my laptop, it is assigned the drive letter D, and I have procedures setup to recognize drive D. Microsoft displaying a hidden partition and assigning it a drive letter, in my opinion, is not a minor issue. I hope Microsoft fixes this problem promptly

    Agreed that this is an annoyance but the diskpart commands mentioned above worked for me. Surprisingly, I tried to fix it first using mini-tool and it wouldn't work. On a positive note, it is nice that Microsoft finally hides Recovery and other non-optimizable partitions/volumes under "Optimize."
