Volumes that are otherwise invisible appear for no reason

I just had the motherboard on my 16-inch i9 MacBook Pro replaced and had to reinstall Winblows 10, while macOS was updated from Mojave to Ventura. In the past, when booting into macOS, I would eject the Winblows partition from the desktop, as it was just taking up unnecessary room on the desktop, and nothing else would happen. After the motherboard replacement, however, when I eject the Winblows partition after booting, I get three dialog boxes that say that three volumes—which aren’t even accounted for in Disk Utility—can’t be ejected. I select Cancel on each box and never see these things again until I start the computer again. This behavior is really annoying, and I want this to stop. Any help is appreciated! Peace.

Finder>Settings>General>Desktop


you do not need to see the Hard Disk on the Desktop, uncheck the box.
