After about a week on my new build, I realized my two external WD MyBook drives weren't showing in Win10 File Explorer by their names. On closer inspection, I realized they'd changed their name to "Local Disk (J: )" and ""Local Disk (K: )" and their contents were fully accessible.
Googling around I can't find anything other than people whose drives need formatting or data recovery, but as you can see below the drives and their names appear fine in Disk Management, but don't carry through into Explorer.
Restarting the computer has no effect. I tried renaming the J: drive "MYBOOK 640" via Explorer and it didn't show there, but changed it in Disk Management. (It had previously been "My Book-640")
Any suggestions to get the names back. Again, the drives themselves are reading properly with all the data, just the labels have gone AWOL. Thanks in advance.
