      I've seen this twice now. Once on my laptop, and now on another system.

      It seems that POST Windows update, a previously hidden partition appears, and since it's a small partition, starts nagging the user about low disk space.

      In my case I resolved this by nuking Win10 and spinning up Fedora 28 Cinnamon.

      But for a Clients PC, I really don't have that option.

      Questions:

      • has anyone else encountered this
      • Disk Management should hide this - correct?

        Any progress on finding a solution for this one?

          I haven't seen that, perhaps a fluke? Does a reboot fix it?

            Although this link is about HP Recovery Partition, I believe you can use the same fix.

              No, because the HP Recovery partition, by default, shows with low space on modern machines.

                No - it did not.

                    You just want to remove the drive letter from it.

                    I just wrote a wiki article for this, internally.

                        I mostly love it.

                        I need to rethink a little of our organizational design now that it has more content.
