I noticed my windows 10 machine (domain connected) automatically shares the drives (c$, d$, e$). how to prevent windows from automatically sharing d and e drives?

Those are administration shares. Unless a person has administration rights to the device they’re not accessible.

is there a way to prevent windows to share D and E even to the domain\administrators?

Sure, turn off the sharing. Better get permission from your domain admins tho.
If you are the domain admin, you can always create a GPO to remove the default shares.

Exactly.
If you are not a local admin, you can't make these changes once you join a domain, so you're kinda stuck. Plus being on the domain, assuming GPOs are running, they could always change it back. (and by so much more than just GPOs too.)
