Maybe the Windows partition is getting automounted. If so, there's nothing to fear. And if you installed Ventoy yourself, there's even less to fear.
However, if you suspect something untoward is going on, run a virus scan. Use Defender on Windows, and ClamAV on Linux.
ClamAV is unintuitive, so I wrote a helper script called Mussel. Read it, copy-paste it, put it in your PATH.

Windows partition does get automounted. But, it's because I wanted it to.
But, even before windows and another ntfs drives are automounted, there was no icons.
It's (icons showing) only after the update.
Also, I have no reason to suspect of any malware. Why do suspect that though?
I simply thought I might be some changes in dolphin or arch or plasma or Wayland.
Thank you for the script though. Looking for something like this for a long time.
