Windows 10: Recent Windows Update appears to have stopped Disk Management from seeing my NVMe drive

Hi there,I recently updated through Windows update. Since then I am no longer able to access my Samsung 980 Pro NVMe drive. It is showing in bios, but not in Windows explorer, disk managment or dskpart through command prompt. I have an Auros pro X570 motherboard with a Ryzen 3800x processor. Windows 10 version 20H2, build 19042.964I have updated motherboard drivers and the bios, as well as ensuring bios settings are ok.

Windows 10 installer don't detect NVMe drive

I have 2 drives:

• disk1 (SATA SSD, with Ubuntu 16.04)
  • partition1 (sda1: flag /boot)
  • partition2 (sda2: flag /home, encrypted by LUKS)
• disk2 (NVMe SSD)

So, the goal is to install Windows 10 on disk2 and boot it from GRUB (which is on sda1).

What is the problem ?

In disk-choose step, disk2 is missing. However Ubuntu 14.04 installer "see" this disk, so I assume that is software issue, rather than my hardware.

What I tried to solve this problem ?

• loaded Samsung NVMe drivers from this thread
• patched Windows image using DISM tool by adding 2 updates. I followed this guide
• tried to run Windows 10 installed on USB stick to install it

All of them failed.

Please help me to solve this issue.
