Microsoft's latest Windows 11 update brings a long‑awaited fix for muffled Bluetooth headset audio: support for Bluetooth LE Audio's super‑wideband stereo, letting game audio remain high‑fidelity while voice chat or calls run at a much higher sample rate than the old Hands‑Free Profile allowed...

Microsoft has quietly delivered one of the most consequential audio upgrades for PC users in years: Windows 11 now supports Super Wideband Stereo over Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio, allowing compatible headsets to play full‑fidelity stereo while their microphones are active — a change that...

Windows 11’s August servicing wave briefly looked like a storage disaster: community testers reported NVMe drives disappearing mid-write after installing security updates KB5063878 and KB5062660, and many fingers pointed at SSDs using Phison controllers. After an industry investigation...

Phison’s latest public stance changes the tone of what started as a panic: after industry-wide reports that a mid‑August Windows 11 cumulative update could cause NVMe SSDs to disappear during long writes, Phison says its internal testing — described as extensive — was unable to reproduce the...

Phison has confirmed it is investigating reports that a mid‑August Windows 11 cumulative update can trigger SSD instability — drives disappearing from Windows during sustained, heavy writes — and vendors, independent testers and Microsoft are coordinating forensic work while users are warned to...

Microsoft’s August cumulative packages for Windows 11 24H2 have been linked by independent testers, hardware vendors and multiple specialist outlets to a reproducible storage regression: certain SSDs (and a smaller set of HDDs) can stop responding or “vanish” from Windows during sustained, large...

Windows 11 promises a cleaner interface, deeper security and better performance — but not every PC qualifies. This guide gives a clear, practical pathway to find out whether your machine can run Windows 11, how to fix the common blockers (TPM and Secure Boot are the usual suspects), and what...

Microsoft’s August cumulative update for Windows 11 (KB5063878) has been linked by multiple independent testers and SSD vendors to a troubling storage regression: under sustained, large write workloads some SSDs temporarily vanish from the operating system — and in a subset of reports files...

Schneider Electric has acknowledged a high-severity vulnerability in its Modicon M340 family and several M340 communication modules that can be triggered remotely by a specially crafted FTP command and may cause a denial-of-service condition; the flaw was assigned CVE‑2025‑6625 and carries a...

Microsoft has opened an investigation after reports surfaced that the August 2025 Windows 11 cumulative/security update (commonly tracked as KB5063878, with related mentions of KB5062660) can cause some SSDs to stop responding or “vanish” from the operating system during sustained, heavy write...

Within days of Microsoft’s August 2025 Patch Tuesday, a cluster of independent testers and community posts began documenting a worrying pattern: after installing the Windows 11 24H2 cumulative update (tracked as KB5063878, with a related preview package KB5062660), some NVMe SSDs momentarily or...

A wave of community test results and vendor confirmations this week has put the latest Windows 11 cumulative update under a harsh spotlight: several SSDs can disappear from Windows during sustained, large write operations after installing the August 12, 2025 update (KB5063878), with a...

Microsoft and several SSD vendors are investigating reports that the August 12, 2025 cumulative update for Windows 11 24H2 (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) can trigger a reproducible storage regression where some SSDs vanish from the operating system during sustained, large sequential writes — a...

Phison has confirmed it is investigating a widespread storage regression tied to Windows 11’s August cumulative update (KB5063878) while simultaneously denouncing and legally challenging a circulated document that falsely claims to be an internal Phison report linking the problem exclusively to...

Microsoft and several SSD vendors are investigating reports that the August 12, 2025 cumulative update for Windows 11 (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) can trigger a storage regression that makes some SSDs disappear during sustained, large writes — a failure mode that, in a minority of reports...

The August cumulative for Windows 11 24H2 (KB5063878) has been linked by multiple independent testers and specialist outlets to a reproducible storage regression that, under sustained large write workloads, can make some NVMe SSDs — and a small number of HDDs in isolated reports — disappear from...

Microsoft and SSD vendors have opened an investigation after multiple independent testers and users reported that the August 12, 2025 Windows 11 cumulative update (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) can cause some NVMe and SATA drives to stop responding, vanish from the operating system, and — in a...

Phison has warned customers that a circulated document purporting to come from the company — and claiming the recent Windows 11 security updates were uniquely breaking Phison-based SSDs — is a falsified communication, and the controller vendor says it is pursuing appropriate legal action while...

Microsoft’s August cumulative for Windows 11 (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) has been linked by multiple community tests and specialist outlets to a narrow but severe storage regression in which some NVMe SSDs can suddenly become unresponsive or disappear during sustained, large writes — a...

Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 cumulative update has been linked by multiple community tests and vendor advisories to a storage regression that, under specific conditions, can make some NVMe SSDs disappear during large sustained writes — risking data corruption or loss — and has reignited a...
