Drives missing from newly updated V 12 catalog

After updating to LR V 12 Win 10 and updating one of my catalogs, I'm finding that 2 of the 4 external HD's no longer show in the list, and a 3rd has many question marks and a different drive letter than before. All drives do appear in Explorer and are functioning fine. How do I get the drives back in LR?

So your Folder panel is showing a Drive F: that is not connected or recognized.- The Green light is not showing!

Where do those 'Missing' folders and photos exist on a Drive E: I: J: K: ?

The Windows OS problem with multiple Drives is that they might take on alphabetic letters in the Order that they are connected, and so drive letters can change.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Rob, screenshots of drives/folders are attached...

As far as drive letters being reassigned, I've never had that happen because of an update with any Lightroom Catalog version. While the I, J and K drives were attached during the update, I did not mention the E drive was not. So I can understand an issue with the E: drive but not the others. Also curious (and very thankful) the K: drive was not affected as this is the drive I keep all business folders/files.
