    Add more disks in Settings > Storage in Windows 10


    Hello there.
    Like the title, do you guys know if there is a way to add additional disks to Settings > Storage in Windows 10? Because i've this situation:
    -disk c - nvme with windows 10 installation
    -disks h and i - backup hdds
    -disks j and k - an additional hdd and an ssd

    Disks c, h and i are shown into Settings > Storage, but i can't see there j and k. Since i want to move and install apps from the microsoft store to these disks, especially into k (the ssd), as long as j and k are not shown in that settings, microsoft store cannot use them, neither to install or move apps.
    The disks have been formatted on this windows installation, a clean one i configured a week ago, all drivers are updated and eveything works like a charm (they work correctly and i use them properly, so files, apps and file explorer, everything ok).
    So, is there a way to add disks there? A 3rd party app? A custom registry edit?
    Let me know and thanks in advance.

    ps: winver -> 22hd build so 19045.3448

    Hi, I suggest you post a screenshot of Disk Management.

    How to Post a Screenshot of Disk Management

    By Settings, Storage - are you referring to Storage Sense? Storage usage? Please post a screenshot.

    Thanks.

    Are both J: & K: drives formatted as NTFS?

    Ok, let's take a look at the screenshots: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
    As you can see, everything is shown correctly, even in File Explorer.
    Anyway, I mean here, in this setting (start -> settings -> system -> storage): Imgur: The magic of the Internet

    Sorry I can't really follow a rapid video in dark mode with tiny text... good attempt to show though. (You can upload videos to the forum using forum features too). - From your imgur link. I could interpret the Italian given a clear screenshot showing where you are.

    Sorry guys. I'm currently away from home, i will upload correctly in a few hours. Anyway yes dalchina, it's exactly there. In the option where you can choose other disks where to install or move apps and new files, only the first three disks are usable. Thanks and sorry for the errors

    Here we are the screenshots as required (I tried uploading in jpg format and png format but the forum says the format is not correct, so i uploaded a zip ).
    As you can see, in the section where you can see other disk utilization or edit the saving path of new files and apps, j and k are not listed. Hope it helps, thanks a lot.
