Retrieve the partitions hidden by Windows Optimizer

Q: When I used the Windows Optimizer to set up the system, I accidentally hidden the partition D disk where the Windows Optimizer is located. Now the D drive can't be seen, and the Windows Optimizer can't start. Please help solve this problem.

A: Don't worry, Windows Optimizer hides the D drive by modifying the registry. Therefore, we can directly modify the registry to solve the problem.

Click the "Start" menu → "Run" command, enter "regedit" and press Enter to open the Registry Editor. In the left pane, click to enter HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\Explorer. On the right side, you can see the "NoDrives" value. This registry value is used to hide the disk partition, just use the right mouse button. Click on it and delete it to solve the problem.
