I see that your C-drive has no name. Kdenlive should see the other drives as well even though they have no name. 

Make sure that you have started Kdenlive with administrator rights.

Thank you for your answer.

I`ve tried running Kdenlive as an administrator, but nothing changed.

When creating and opening a project, I can see all the drives. However, when importing, drive D is not visible.
On my laptop with Windows 11, version 24.08.1 is installed, and all drives are visible there. Therefore, I tried to downgrade to version 24.08.1 on my computer with Windows 10, but the situation did not change.
It seems that something is wrong with my Windows 10 desktop system...

Thank you for the details.

“Open Project” will open the Windows explorer, there you see all drives. 
Add a clip will open the Kdenlive window where the KDE-framework is on the background. It seems that KDE-framework has an issue to see all drives.

Do you have on your laptop the language set to Cyrillic as well?

Yes, on both computers, on the desktop and laptop, the language is Cyrillic.

I see Flash E: on project opening as well as on file import. Is Flash E an SSD or a Flash-Memory?

On Win10 is drive D a hard disk drive? If yes, what type of hard disk?

On Win11 are all drives SSD?

On Win10 drive C is SSD, drive D is HDD
On Win11 drives C and D  are SSD
Flash E is SSD

Interesting. 
It seems that connecting to some type of HDD is an issue for KDE-framework.

Let me know your HHD type. Do the following: Press Ctrl + Shift +Esc -> Performance -> click on the drive D: -> upload here a screenshot of this view.

Then I can check if your type of HDD has an issue with the KDE-Framework.
