    Did a windows update cause the drivers and removable devices to?


    Be like here: How to Separate ?Devices and Drives? Section in Windows 8.1 Explorer ?This PC?? - AskVG

    I think I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that on my windows 7 pc before I did some updates.

    Or I may be mistaken and this is not happening. I think I solved it.

    What kind of problem did your computer have that is now fixed.
    No I don't want to go to what ever AskVG is.

    Why you think that site is going to hack you if you visit it?

    But to answer your question: In Windows 8 and beyond remote drives and hard drives are grouped in the same category while in Windows 7 they are separate in the my computer folder.
