I have recently run some updates on my Windows 10, which is installed on a dual boot with Kubuntu 16.10. Since the update, Windows is auto mounting not only the Windows partition C:
, but also the EFI and Ubuntu partitions.
Since that, I am not able to boot Kubuntu until I plug in a GParted live usb an run the Check and repair
process on my Ubuntu partition. After that I am able to boot into Kubuntu.
Apparently when running Windows, it messes up my non-windows partitions: In the Disk Properties window I can see that two events happened: Device configured (disk.inf)
and Device started (disk)
.
Is there a way to disable configuring the EFI and Ubuntu partitions under Windows 10?
I have found a following tutorial, which advises me to remove the drive path using the Disk Management utility (http://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-hide-or-dismount-partition-windows), but I have the "Change Drive Letter and Paths" option greyed out, so I am not able to do it this way.
Edit: Thank you to linking the possible duplicate: Did Windows 10 just add a partition to my hard drive?
I have tried the proposed diskpart
solution, but the select
command was not able to find the partitions (but in the file explorer they had letters assigned).
