Blue Question Mark on My Hard Drive Windows 10
Is the device 'seen' under disk management?
Is the device 'seen' under My Computer?
Does the hard drive have a letter assigned?
I've found this here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for... which fixed the same problem for the user but in their case their hard drive was hidden:
[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES
Modify/Create the Value Name [DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES] according to the Value Data listed below.
Value Data: [1 = Show Devices / 0 = Hide Devices]

Hi Kate, the blue question mark means Windows cannot enumerate the drive letter for that drive
Open Disk Management (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)
Right click that drive and choose 'Assign Drive Letter'
Pick an appropriate letter and click OK
Restart your PC

i checked the disk management and when i opened it there's something about disk 0? im not sure if thats the (D:) drive that was having the blue question mark. under the this pc, its there but i cant open it.
after that i shut down my pc and opened it up again it got fixed but after opening a game that is installed in the disk, a few mins later the game closed and theres that blue question mark again. i tried the Regedit thing then shut down and opened the pc again it got fixed again but im not sure if it might happen again??? im sorry if my explanation is a bit confusing..

You can always check the health of the disk with chkdsk C: /scan if problems are found then run chkdsk C: /spotfix
Or use third party tools like HD Tune.

Hi Kate, yes I would change the drive letter, you can change it back once you system has restarted . . .
It just seems that the drive enumeration in Windows is faulting and this will resolve that . . .
