WD Utilities Drive Not Hidden in Windows 11

With Windows 7 WD Utilities would completely hide the drive letter. In Windows 11 it still shows the Drive and the sub folders. It only hides or forbids seeing the contents of the folders under a password. Why does it no longer hide the drives?

In Windows 11, WD Utilities no longer completely hides the drive letter because Windows 11 has better drive management and prioritizes system consistency. It shows the drive and its folders for stability, and WD might have updated their software to work with these changes.
