It doesn’t matter how do you set the label/name for that problematic drive, Windows Explorer always shows default “Local Disk” label for that drive.

“Local Disk”.įollowing image shows E: drive label as “Local Disk” in Windows Explorer:īut the E: drive label is set to “Extras” in drive properties as shown in following image:

So basically Windows Explorer doesn’t recognize the custom label/name of the drive and always shows the default drive label i.e. In Windows Explorer (also known as File Explorer, My Computer and This PC), his external disk drive/partition was always showing the default label “Local Disk” even if he has manually set the drive label to something else.įor example, you have set a customized label for a drive/partition in Windows Explorer and Windows should list that drive/partition with your custom name but instead of the custom name, Windows Explorer always shows that drive’s name as “ Local Disk“. The problem was related to customized drive label or name in Windows 10. Recently an AskVG reader “Tot” contacted us regarding this annoying problem.
