Microsoft and several SSD vendors are investigating reports that a recent Windows 11 cumulative update can cause some solid-state drives to stop responding or “vanish” from the operating system during sustained, large file writes — a failure mode that can leave files corrupted or, in a minority...
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...
New Windows 11 24H2 cumulative updates released in August have been linked to a worrying, reproducible storage regression that can make some SSDs and a few HDDs vanish from the operating system during heavy, sustained writes — in a number of community tests the failure has led to corrupted or...
