Tens of thousands of users viewed this particular forum thread, but Microsoft’s vague answers only deepened the mystery around the Z: partition. The Z: drive appears for no apparent reason and as users confirm, there is no security tab to take ownership and gain access to the content of the partition. When users try to access it, a pop-up window displays the following message: “You don’t currently have permission to access to folder“. Also, this disk doesn’t show up under the Disk Management window. Many users also report that the Z: drive appears and disappears randomly. Windows 10 users tried various solutions to find out if this drive is malicious or not. They scanned it with Malwarebytes and ran Chkdsk, but no errors or viruses were detected. Fortunately, HP explained why Windows 10 adds the Z: drive, shedding light on this mystery. In a nutshell, this partition should never have appeared on users’ computers. Indeed, it should exist on Windows 10 machines, but it is supposed to be hidden. It appears that a bug randomly makes this drive visible, causing much stir among Windows 10 users.
