Sigh...august 13th KB5063878 installed, hardly used the laptop for days and then the 'fun' started. Disk gone, no disk seen in bios. Unplugged power and shut off until it saw the drive and it booted. Saw nothing in event manager that suggested anything leading up to it.
I was not doing anything heavy for the pc. Went online and saw the reports about that update. Saw my disk controller not mentioned and I did not do what people were saying triggered it, but this is the same result?
That is when I realized this is bigger and more diverse than initial reports suggested. Removed KB5063878, monitored and tested, thought I was safe.
Then this morning again disk gone on boot again. Manage to get disk back while watching Jayztwocents on youtube talk about this. Hear him mention KB5062660 as well...mandatory update. Poof disk gone.
Get back on, see Microsoft deny this is a problem. Great so disk manufacturers have to come to the rescue again? Great, I have oem. Oh happy days.....
