Hiding NTFS Volume Names in the Finder

Actually, 2 questions relating to the same thing. Just did a win10 install on it's own drive (a process that took a LOT of time to get done right). The "System Reserved" NTFS volume shows in the Finder... can I hide it without having any effect on win10 working? How? Second, the main win10 volume is showing as "untitled" and can not be changed on the Mac side (again, NTFS volume). CAN I change that me in the win10 side, or if not, can I also hide it from seeing it in the Finder (if I can't change it's name in win10)?

Mac Pro, macOS 10.12

Just to clarify, are you installing BC 5.x drivers on W10?

Jun 20, 2019 10:14 AM in response to Loner T

Yes, the "official" package from Apple. Things got WAY more "interesting' this morning. It more involves that other thread on the issues with the 1903 release of win10, so I will detail them there.

For sure the one I got (via BCA) was the 5621 release not 5640.

.5621 is the one I also recommend. Some of the drivers can be extracted using 7-zip. Also, you can disable Driver Signature Enforcement, but typically, it is not advisable.

You can always write a script to unmount the disks from the macOS side, without any other changes to keep your desktop clean.

There is an old issue with the clocks, where the updated Windows settings were not saved. If you were connecting Windows to an AD Domain server, it would also cause similar issues.

This looks like a MacPro with at least four (4) disks, if not more. Can you post the output of

diskutil list

It looks like disk0 is an EFI installation of Windows on a GPT disk.
