How to disable automounting under Windows 10? (Windows is messing up my Ubuntu partitions)

0
0

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).
