TLARWise Posted September 26, 2025 Posted September 26, 2025 We started using a new Intune based system this term, however we are having an issue where drives E and F are hidden when USB drives are connected to the client devices. If you look in Disk Management the drives are allocated to the drive letters and I am able to access them by typing in the drive letter in the address bar of File Explorer. I have checked the NoDrives option in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, same for LOCAL_MACHINE) and there is an entry but this is listed as 4 which should only hide the C drive, which is expected. Is anyone aware of any other settings/third party apps that have the ability to hide drives? We do use IAMS Cloud Drive Mapper to map OneDrive/Sharepoint folders but no entries are configured to use drives E and F, is there another setting in this app that could result in hidden drives that we may have missed? 1
TLARWise Posted October 20, 2025 Author Posted October 20, 2025 Just to update this for anyone who has the same issue in the future. It turns out that the company who setup our Intune policies configured this value using a PowerShell script, however they accidentally created the 'NoDrives' registry entry as a string value instead of a binary dword value.
