Windows 10: Secondary SATA drive not visible after resume from sleep.

Hi Guys, After the application of KB5044380 and/or KB5044285 my secondary SATA hard disk ST1000D003 fails to initialize and respond. If I reboot or cold boot, the drive is fully accessible. I have attempted to uninstall both of these updates to see if the behavior reverts, but it has not. My system is showing it wants to reinstall KB5044380 indicating it is truly uninstalled. I can't tell if KB5044285 is truly uninstalled. I believe the issue started with KB5044380 as KB5044285 was installed afterward. I have paused updates for a week in order to quarantine things.System is a KAMRUI

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

 

Secondary hard drive is waking up for no reason

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. What is the size of the secondary hard drive?

2. Is it connected in SATA 0 and SATA 1 connectors?

I suggest you to scan for hardware changes, and check if it helps:

1. Press Windows key + R together to open Run Command.

2. Type 'Devmgmt.msc' without quotes, and press enter.

3.Click on Action > Scan for hardware changes.

Restart the system and check if the issue persists.

When you resume a computer, the SATA hard disk drivers require the SATA hard disk to be ready within 10 seconds. However, a large SATA hard disk may take longer than 10 seconds to be ready.

I'd suggest you to use the powercfg tool to control the power states of individual devices, and to analyze the system for common energy efficiency and other problem. Follow the below steps and check if it helps:

1. Click Start.

2. Type Command Prompt.

3. Right click on it, and select Run as administrator.

4. Type the following command without quotes, and press enter: powercfg -energy

Check and let us know.
