I ran across this You Tube Video this morning talking about a Microsoft Update to Windows 11 that is causing SSDs to disappear both SATA and NVM.
The recommended action is to uninstall the update.
Here is a written article (from another source) on the subject:
I'm not sure if these are a trustworthy sources.
I've decided not to un-install the update because:
1 -- The NVMe inside of my laptop is not one of the drives that was reported having problems.
2 -- When the remedy is to uninstall this update and disable auto updates that sounds exactly what a hacker would want me to do.
The problem is described that when you are transferring a lot of data the drive disappears from the system. If that happens and the drive is where your Operating System is installed you will see one of the Blue Screens of Death or your computer would just reboot.
If you've started having problems with your Windows 11 computer lately then maybe you should uninstall the update. If not then I'd probably leave the update in place.

Since sending out the first email, I have uninstalled the update on my laptop and turned off automatic updates.
Turn off automatic updates before you uninstall the update because the first time I uninstalled the update (50063878) Windows rebooted about three or four times and when I was done the update was back.
My SSD drive is not on the list (WD_BLACK 8TB SN850X NVMe Internal), however, Windows 11 was freezing up on me on a daily basis. In order to get it to work again I had to power off and back on. My laptop has not done that since I uninstalled the update.
I found the guy that did the first YouTube Video did a follow up today and he was having problems on a SSD that wasn't on the list
I wonder when Microsoft is going to acknowledge and then fix this problem?

Lol, I haven’t even installed windows 11 yet. Maybe I shouldn’t until the issues get resolved.

I have Ubuntu installed as my primary OS. Sad to hear that SSDs are disappearing.

I found this video on YouTube
It looks like Microsoft is not acknowledging this problem.
If Microsoft is looking for this in their Telemetry Service it would make sense that it's not there because if the SSD crashes and disappears how is windows going to write out the error report?
