After updating windows i now have a Local Disk D: partition showing in 'This PC' wondering where it came from and what it is for?  To fix the issue, try the following suggestions:
1] Hide the logical drive
The drive is necessary to recover Windows 10, but it virtually occupies space. We could hide the partition so that it doesn’t appear in File Explorer.
However, if you actually want to remove the extra partition, it isn’t possible through Disk Management. They don’t show the option for the same. You may need to follow these suggestions.
2] Using third-party software to delete it
While the Disk Management might not work, third-party Partition Manager software will be able to help you delete the partition.

redstone 5A couple of days ago, Microsoft had released their latest update of Windows 10 aka April 2018 Update for all users. Microsoft has today released a new Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17661 from Redstone 5 branch for Fast Ring users. Redstone 5 will be the next major update to Windows 10 and is scheduled to release in the second half of 2018. This is the first Redstone 5 build which has been released to Fast Ring as the earlier RS5 builds were released on the Skip Ahead Ring which was specifically created by Microsoft for giving an early start to their development process of the next major update. This build has introduced some new features and under the hood changes that will lay the groundwork for upcoming features. Microsoft has started converging their snipping tools on Windows 10 by creating the Windows Ink Workspace’s Screen Sketch as a standalone app which has some easy sharing and sketching features. Since it is now an app, it also means that users can multitask with it and can find it in taskbar or Alt-Tab as well. Microsoft has enabled a keyboard shortcut for easy snapping, so by pressing WIN + Shift + S, a new snip toolbar will pop up. After selecting the snipping area user will get a notification which can be opened in the Screen sketch app. Surface Pen or any other button can be now set up for bringing the new snipping experience.

Microsoft is already allowing users who don’t want to wait any longer to get the newest version of Windows 10, and while the normal upgrade experience is smooth, the clean install of Windows 10 is recommended for improved performance. Microsoft has released the Windows 10 April 2018 Update as a manual download, and you can easily upgrade your device by checking for updates in the Settings app. On Tuesday, the newest version of the operating system will start showing up in the Windows Update for select users and it will be downloaded automatically to deliver a smooth upgrade experience. The upgrade process always drags the old settings, unnecessary software and unwanted files from your previous installation of Windows. Basically, Microsoft allows you to start your Windows experience from scratch (without manufacturer bloatware and third-party applications) by performing a clean install and now things are much easier. Full details are posted on OUR FORUM.
