[Windows] Disks widget shows `\\?\Volume{drive ID}` instead of drive names about bottom HOT 5 CLOSED

New behaviour is that it'll return whatever sysinfo returns, which generally seems to match whatever it is named in File Explorer. For drives with no name, for now, I instead return No Name, as I'm not sure if leaving it blank would cause confusion.

That's not really a bug, it's currently intentional behaviour, though I can look to changing it if possible. Windows reports weird-looking drive names with the library I was using.

...So the intended behaviour is to... sort alphabetically by drive ID instead of what the drive is named...

I can understand this being a "I can't be bothered to fix this" problem because it's the exact kind of obvious feature windows would make hard (at least without spawning a wmic process each time you want to get the disk info) but this does not at all look like intended behaviour.

I'm really am sorry if I'm coming off as rude but I am just baffled

The original and intended behaviour was sorting by whatever was in the disk name column, yes, especially prior to being able to sort by any column. And the returned name for a drive on Windows has always been this weird name.

I'm fine with changing it to be nicer (if reasonably possible) but it isn't exactly a bug how it currently is, hence why I closed it. If you would prefer, I can reopen this as a feature request.

Looks like #1064 will end up changing this anyway, though currently the behaviour for some drives is that it'll just return a blank name now.
