Hi Friends,

A Z drive is being shown in my computer in Windows 10

It showed up last week but after restarting it was gone. Now it has returned few days back. Some sites say it is a virtual drive and others say that it is a partition drive. And I also read that we can hide it from the disk management, but I am not able to do so.

What is this? Why is it showing up? And how to hide it?

Thanks

It's EFI partition, comes with UEFI BIOS. Usually, it shouldn't appear but don't bother. Leave it as it is.

Can we hide it?

I will try with the cmd method and will let you know. The disk management method does not hide it.
