After I installed and rebooted my computer after this update my SSD and hard drive E:\Drive and D:\Drive respectfully disappeared from file explorer. I did some digging around and have found other people have this issue with other updates. All my drivers are up to date made sure of that before the windows 10 update. I have removed both the SSD and Hard drive from the computer and then reinserted them after a night of cleaning and looking for any cracks or issues (found none). I do not have access to my desktop or downloads folder so I can't download anything to help see if the SSD is active or not but it's my main drive/boot drive without it my computer ONLY boots into BIOS. I need help to figure out what to do I can't partition the drives since they don't show up in disk manager. Do I roll back the update do I try and get all the files off and just buy a new SSD and hard drive. If it's the former option which update do I role back KB5041168 or Servicing Stack 10.0.1.19041.1704 which was apparently installed on 2052-05-11?

    Ensure that both drives are recognized in the BIOS. If they are not, the issue might be hardware-related.

    If the drives are recognized in BIOS but not in Windows, you can try rolling back the recent updates.

    Boot your computer and go into Safe Mode.

    Once in Safe Mode, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View update history > Uninstall updates.

    If rolling back updates doesn't work, consider performing a System Restore to a point before the updates were installed.

    Hi Aiden,

    Hope you're doing well.

    1. Use the following command to check whether the disk is in a read-only state:

    (1) diskpart

    (2) list disk

    (3) select disk x

    (4) detail disk

    1. if the drives are recognized in BIOS but not in Windows, you may need to contact disk and computer manufacturers for further troubleshooting.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
