Hello Tomasz, I have reported a similar problem with some of my hidden partitions being unhidden by Acronis True Image 2016 which has been assigned a case number of 02621117 - if you still have support it may be worth you reporting this and mentioning my case number as additional evidence of the issue.

In my case, activating the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager was only possible if the hidden partitions were unhidden!

Open windows disk management console and find each of the partitons that need to have their drive letters removed.

Right click on each of the partitions with the non-wanted drive letter.

Right clicking will open the option to

"Change Drive Letter and Paths" and use the "remove" option to remove the unwanted drive letter so no drive letter will be assigned.

Do that process for each of the UNWANTED drive letters.

 

I was playing with Acronis Startup Recovery Manager last week and later noticed all my GPT disks' MSR partitions had a drive letter. Diskpart and most of my Partition Managers were unable to get rid of the letter except for Macroit's.

I suspected, at the time, that the problem came from Acronis Startup Recovery Manager but I couldn't reproduce the error.

It does not work. There are no letters in disk management console. (GUI or disk part etc.)

Hello

I just ran into the same issue.Now I don't use the recovery environment
to prevent this issue.

And its not possible to unhide in disk management...

So i had to restore a backup to get rid of these false driveletters in my PC

 

I used MiniTool Partition Wizard (there is a free version) to assign a letter to my EFI fat 32 system partition, applied the change and then changed the letter back to "none" and applied that change. Rebooted with no problems.
