"The parameter is incorrect" when assigning a new drive letter

While attempting to reassign the drive letter for an NVME drive on Windows 10, "Disk Management" kept throwing up a warning: "The parameter is incorrect". I searched around for answers but didn't find them. So I tried simply removing the existing drive letter, and it warned me that I couldn't do so for a boot or pagefile volume. I had some time before assigned the pagefile to that drive and forgotten all about it. Changing the pagefile setup allowed me to get on with what I was doing.

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.

—Terry Pratchett (as Lord Vetinari)
