Windows 10: SSD disappears after standby/shutdown/crash

I have 3 SSD. A Samsung EVO 480, EVO 860 and EVO 870, All connected per SATA cable. This problem only affects the 860 and 870 which are V-Nand.The 870 was brand new and instantly had the same problem as the 860 already was having.The problem:Sometimes when I start my PC this can be from standby, full shutdown or crash those 2 drives or only 1 of them completely disappear, so not showing up in bios or anywhere.I can bring them back while windows is booted by just unplugging both power and sata cable and reconnecting. power firstWhat i did:Tried to mess with windows power settingsSent one

Desktop Shutdown and Standby/Hibernate Icons

I discovered some time ago a simple means of adding two desktop icons to cover Shutdown and Standby/Hibernate. I now use these icons all the time as it avoids using the Start procedure, which I never use at all unless I wish to Restart immediately after shutdown. Even then, I tend to use my desktop icons. Just close the browser, click the desktop icon and it is done.

On your desktop, right click the free space, then click new shortcut, you get a Wizard, copy/paste the command for the location type from one of the below commands (in this case, %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState ). Then click Next. You are asked to give it a title - Standby, Hibernate or Shutdown, I suggest using "Standby/Hibernate", click Finish.

Shutdown: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s
Reboot: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r
Logoff: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -l
Standby: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
Hibernate: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate
I have listed Hibernate for reference only, as the Hibernate desktop icon does not work for systems reasons, Hibernate can only be achieved by manually using the Power Options properties panel.

Use CNTRL+C to copy and CNTRL+V to paste.

Hibernate is automatic if the Hibernate box is checked in the Power Options properties panel. If the box is not checked, then Standby is automatic. You have to select this box to give you the option you want.

Standby is more convenient if you are using the PC constantly, it is a quicker recovery, but has a power trickle. For long periods of absence, use Hibernate, it is much slower in recovering, but effectively shuts your computer down.

The Power options panel is found by Control Panel>Power Options>Hibernate.

The two desktop icons created can be changed by Right clicking the icon then Properties>Change icon>Browse>Windows 32>shell32dll>select icon>OK>Apply>OK
You now have two brand new icons on your desktop for Shutdown and Standby/Hibernate. It works a treat.

My icons are :-

 

Standby, shutdown issues - windows 10

Somewhat same problem here.

Can't identify if it is or not related to some update.

Tried all solutions provided. Still can't figure it out.

Shutdown works fine but standby don't as follows:

• After indicating standby procedures (closing lid, timeout, Start Menu --> Standby) the system appears to try to go into Standby. The screen fades, the disk lights flash a little.
• Then the power light -that was supposed to slowly and continuously dim- just keeps on alongside the wireless light.
• On this state the computer becomes unresponsive. Power button, device plugging and other triggers remain uneffective.
• To regain control of the computer it is necessary to force shutdown the machine and start it again (holding power button, removing the battery and power cord etc.).
• After starting, Windows reopens all windows and shows no warnings, as if the system successfully entered Standby.

I believe this may be something software-related preventing the system from going full Standby. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Disappearing SSD Syndrome

Thank you for the information. I have built a new system, and am struggling with a disappearing SSD.

Q: Do you have any suggestions for dealing with a disappearing SSD that is an M.2 device. That is, it doesn't have separate SATA data and power connection-- just the motherboard slot. I have a Plextor M6e SSD plugged in to the M.2 slot on an ASUS Z97 Deluxe 3.1 MB.

Thank you for any comments.
