Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

Steps to confirm issue:

• Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
• Secondary drive not visible in device manager
• Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

Steps to replicate issue:

• Installing 1909 update

Steps to resolve issue:

• Uninstall 1909 update

Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

 

BitLocker cannot encrypt secondary fixed drive

So it seems when I was performing the restoration procedure, the secondary drive partition got marked as active. Looks like Windows does not like other active partitions that weren't used to boot the OS, and won't treat them as "fixed data drives".

After marking the secondary drive partition as inactive (with diskpart) and a restart, Windows/BitLocker finally acknowledges the secondary drive and can commence with encryption.

 

Secondary drive marked as System + Black screen

Hello thanks for the response,

I made backup(image) of C drive with Macrium. Strange thing, when I tried to make a backup also windows icon was on the D drive. I'm not sure if making only C(system) backup was good option. Or should I check C and D




But the rest of the screenshot are here because it double posted and I tried delete it but there's no option for me even with WYSIWYG advanced post edit option.
Secondary drive marked as System + Black screen

The worst scenario that I'm worried is that I'll make those steps and my original system image wont restore. I have now a lot of stuff to do on my PC and I don't want to make myself problems.
