This tutorial will show you how to show or hide items in the Disk Management console window for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Disk Management is a system utility in Windows for advanced storage operations.
Disk Management shows the details for each drive on your PC and all partitions for each drive. The details include statistics about the partitions, including the amount of space allocated or used.
You can customize the view in Disk Management by choosing which items to show or hide in the console window.
Changes to the customize view settings in the current Disk Management window are not saved and will only stay applied until you close Disk Management. When you open Disk Management next, it will show the default view settings again.
You can create a custom Disk Management snap-in MSC that can save and remember any changes made.
Here's How:
1 Open Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc).
2 Click/tap on View on the menu bar, and click/tap on Customize. (see screenshot below)
3 Check (show) or uncheck (hide) items you want in the Disk Management console window, and click/tap on OK. (see screenshot below)
Items will immediate show or hide as you check or uncheck them.
The screenshot below shows the default settings.
That's it,
Shawn Brink
