    External Hard Drive listed twice in Windows Explorer Windows 11 Pro again.


    Hello,Im experiencing an issue where my external hard drive appears twice in the navigation pane of File Explorer on Windows 11 Pro. I've seen that other users have reported the same issue, and many suggested following the instructions on this link: https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/drives-listed-twice-explorer-navigation-pane/However, I tried those steps, and unfortunately, they did not resolve the issue for me. The drive still shows up twice. Has anyone found an alternative fix for this?I also cant eject the device safely! After i press the eject button, the device is still active and win

    I bought a new computer (old one died). I also bought a 2-bay drive I want to put my 2 hard drives into as extra storage and backup. However, the first drive I put into the bay is listed twice in Windows Explorer. How can I eliminate one of these listings? Thank you.
