More like Windows glitch. Did you upgraded from Windows 10 to 11 recently? Then you must run Windows update as well.

Show screenshots - task manager and disk management (upload to imgur.com and post link).

You may want to check windows storage spaces. If the drive is listed there, then remove it from pool and delete the pool.

No man no update, but i've read something about initialize, do you know how to do it?

Screencaps are needed before a "fix" can be recommended.

Disk Management, please.

Thats not "Disk Management".
Rather, that is File Explorer.

Yes. That is showing the drive is not yet Initialized.

And select GPT rather than MBR.

Then, click Aceptar, and continue.

It says not all versions of windows recognize GPT, btw does the size has something to do with it?

Initialize,
create a partition,
format it,
assign a drive letter.
Done

GPT OR MBR? just looking for confirmation It's a 1tb disc

Either way...MBR or GPT.
Are you needing to use this connected to some old OS? Probably not.

But for a 1TB drive, it makes little difference.

As above...Click Accept and continue on.

Doesn't matter. GPT is necessary, if drive is larger than 2TB.
You have 1TB - so choose whatever you want. Your Disk 1 is GPT btw.
