That's pretty much it.  Shortcuts pointing to it are created, but nothing there.

I have seen on some of my lenovo's that it rearranges drive leters for some strange reason.   the flash drive ends up as g: usually so the links dont work to it.

havent had a chance to try and track that down yet.

Some WinBuilder plugins can rearrange drive letters, e.g. older plugins for Macrium Reflect Free.
If your Y: disappears after running Macrium Reflect Free, then you should update your plugin.

Would it be POSSIBLE to kept the usb as Y:\ Drive all the time ??
Which would be a BIG plus..

When you do a build into ram > the usb is assigned a random drive letter - would like to keep the USB as Y:\ drive all the time
that way we can build into ram and refer programs to, create shortcuts to, and refer to large files on Y:\
And also be able to Remount the Y:\ drive,, So another BIG plus..

Need to include an install.wim on the usb and run a deployment program that partitions the drive and applies the install.wim
So would be nice to always refer to Y:\  (instead of searching for the install.wim)

Also Windows 10 Reset and Refresh (Recovery) is just a Windows Only Recovery (Win10 No longer uses an OEM Recovery Image Partition) so now need to create a provisioning.ppkg to capture any customizations made to the installation and will need to run USMT from USB, so as to include the provisioning.ppkg, prior to the captured of the deployment install.wim

In my case it is NOT plugin related.  all machine models except the Dell XPS and one model of lenovo use the drive letters normally.  when plugging the same known working drive in to those 2 trouble models the bart drive now ends up as G: instead of X: like it should be.  There are 2 variants of the XPS in my environment and 1 of them does not cause this issue I am suspecting its usb chipset related but dont have the knowledge of the pe system to figure it out or a permanant test machine of that model to spend time tracking it down :(

Can you try by adding the Intel(R) Power Engine Plug-in Driver, to see.
For that, copy "Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\intelpep.inf_*" source folder in Driver integration plugin folder: %GlobalTemplates%\Drivers_x86/x64
