Windows 10: Striped volume prevents boot after updates

I have a software striped volume in my PC made up of 4 drives for extra storage not as a boot drive. Anytime I install Windows updates, Windows doesn't boot after restart and Automatic Repair runs chkdisk to fix errors on the striped volume before it can boot again. This also happens after a power failure. How can I fix this?


I've disabled write caching on each disk and ran error checking to fix more errors, but they always come back and cause more problems after updates. I've noticed that disk 4 in my array is always deactivated after I run chkdsk manually in windows. Though I'm able to reactivate it just fine and the volume shows "Healthy". Does this indicate the errors are only occurring on that disk and that it's going bad?

Cannot create striped volume

Hello all,

I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1809. I have to 2TB hard drives that I want to set up as a striped volume(4TB total) so I can use it as a file history backup drive. The problem is that once I convert them to dynamic disks and set them as a single striped volume
I get an error that says that the format failed. I tried to use the command line tool to format them as I've seen in different support sites but none of them work. anyone have a clue as to what I'm missing??? if you need more info on this please don't hesitate
to ask.

Thanks in advance,

Jay

 

Repeated Crashes and Boot Errors Apparently Caused by Driver Updates

Sorry for the delay; last week was crazily busy, and I also for some reason didn't see a notification about your response.

I followed the steps and got "Virtual Disk Service error: The specified drive letter is invalid." The only difference I saw from the image in post #70 is that under "list volume," Volume 1 now says Boot and Volume 2 now says System under Info.

My computer still works fine, but I have kept it offline to prevent the forced Windows update.
