In many applications, such as PowerISO, CyberLink Power2Go (the Virtual Drive Manager), etc. you can assign one or more fixed drive letters for virtual drives in Windows (e.g. V:\).
Because Windows 10 (already) supports virtual drives natively, I do not install external tools anymore. However, I cannot assign the drive-letter V:\ permanently as a (kinda "reserved") virtual drive letter. Through Disk Management you can change the drive letter only temporary (until you eject the drive).
Is there a way to permanently assign a virtual drive letter in Windows 10?

GO back to using your utilities, Microsoft's implementation is half baked. – Moab – 2020-02-09T12:04:29.627
It is probably not a good idea to change Windows 10 default drives. It can be tricky to get back to default if you change the assignments. – John – 2020-02-09T12:40:05.193
After you set the drive letter in Disk Management or
DiskPart, if you reboot right afterwards, is the drive letter still assigned upon logging back in (if you're using Fast Startup, don't reboot - instead shutdown then boot back up)? If it's not, and there's not an option in the settings of those 3rd party programs to assign a drive letter, you'll likely have to set a task in Task Scheduler to mount the virtual drive asV:upon boot or login. – JW0914 – 2020-02-09T13:22:18.477
