One Local disk labeled "DANGER"

It means that somebody has deliberately given that name to it.
It is not a warning generated by Windows.

I suspect that it is your EFI System partition.
Disk management [diskmgmt.msc] would confirm that.
It would not normally have a drive label [name] or a drive letter and it does not need either of them.

What does it mean when I have File Explorer showing one local disk labeled as "DANGER"?

That's just the name someone has chosen for your F: drive. You can rename it if you wish to almost anything you want.

It could be named as its failing and someone has named it to reflect that run a full disk check on the drive

Hello @yrralrellim,

The DANGER label has been physically input or changed to that.

Please post a screenshot of your Disk Management. Make sure that ALL the text in ALL the columns is visible and showing the whole window. UPLOAD the screenshot using one of the following methods . . .

Alternatively, if you have > MiniTool Partition Wizard Free or > AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard, use one of those instead.

I hope this helps.

So it was your EFI System partition.

If you looked in Disk mgmt then it would have been labelled as such. That's why it can often be worthwhile checking Disk mgmt[diskmgmt.msc] even if, like many of us, you normally use MiniToolPartitionWizard or some other disk utulity.
