Microsoft’s latest cumulative for Windows 11 24H2 has been tied to a small but serious cluster of storage failures that can make NVMe SSDs disappear during heavy writes and, in a handful of cases, leave data unreadable — a scare that underscores why updating and backup discipline still matters...

Microsoft’s August cumulative for Windows 11 (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) has been tied by multiple independent community tests and tech outlets to a serious storage regression: under sustained, large sequential writes some SSDs can stop responding, disappear from Windows, and — in a...
Microsoft’s staggered Windows 11 24H2 rollout has tripped a serious compatibility landmine: scattered but reproducible reports show that one recent cumulative update can cause some NVMe SSDs to become unresponsive or vanish during sustained large writes, and earlier instances of the 24H2 feature...
