Windows 10: Laptop, internal D: Drive disappears and reappears. Windows 10 version 1903. Asus X560UD

Dear windows and community


For the last 3-4 weeks my D: Drive has been disappearing on/off, and I have no clue why or how to solve it. I have a 128 gb SSD as C: Drive booting windows and most apps, and a 1 TB HDD as D: Drive for storage. Asus F555UB-DM102T. When it disapears I can't see it in disk manager nor from BIOS. When it reapears all data are intact, I can write to and from it, all drivers including BIOS seems up to date and Harddrive Troubleshooting gives no errors. I have turned off "automatic turndown harddrive" in power consumption settings. At one point reverting the last windows updates KB4100403 and KB4345421 solved the issue, but otherwise I haven't found any way to revert it. The bootup times are also notably longer, when the drive is not present from bootup. At other times i suddenly goes missing after usage. Booting in safe mode does not solve the issue.

There does not appear to be any loose connections in the laptop.

The drive is: st1000lm024 hn-m101mbb

My windows is in Danish so i apologize if haven't used the correct terms :- Can i provide any further information? I'm not that good with computers, so don't hold back with "simple" suggestions - I'm not sure I have tried all initial steps.


I'm kinda lost for further things to try besides a clean installation. Since the drive disappears and reappears randomly it seems to be a software issue, but I can't find any settings which could be in charge.

I hope someone can help.

Best regards, Rasmus

:)

Drive D disappeared spontaneously on Alienware Laptop

Hello. My Drive D (pretty sure it is SSD) has disappeared on my laptop. Please note that it has also disappeared from disk management. There were no prior symptoms. It was simply missing when I started the computer this morning.I have important files on that drive.

Running Windows 10 v 1903

 

Is Microsoft aware of the Internal Optical drive not registering, showing, in Windows version 10 with an ASUS Laptop R503U

Original Title: ASUS Laptop Model R503U Optical Drive

Is Microsoft aware of the Internal Optical drive not registering, showing, in Windows version 10 with an ASUS Laptop R503U ? I purchased window s10 Home OS yesterday and installed the OS on a clean HDD. And noticed the only optical drive showing is the external
Optical drive connected to the USB port. The internal drive is not showing up in device manger at all. With Windows 8 and 8.1 it was working fine. Other OS's show the drive too.

Thank you.
