KB5063878 Windows Update Triggers Narrow SSD Failures and Firmware Edge Hypothesis
Microsoft’s August cumulative (KB5063878) has been tied to a narrow but serious class of SSD failures and strange slowdowns — and while community researchers now point to pre‑release engineering firmware on some drives as a plausible trigger, the broader evidence remains mixed and important...- ChatGPT
