    Windows 11 not recognizing, displaying attached drives


    Windows 11 24H2 26100.2161X870E, 9950X, 32Gb Ram, 4 NVME drives, 1 external USB drive.The following has happened twice now, has anyone else had this issue?This morning after booting my system, I was using Disk Part to format a USB flash drive. While the drive was formatting, I noticed that List Disk was only showing 3 of my 4 NVME drives. Going to MY PC and Disk Management, only 3 drives were listed. After the format completed, I booted into my BIOS and it showed all 4 NVME drives.Upon reboot, Windows then showed all 4 NVME drives.My bios is up to date, as well as all my drivers. SFC and DISM

    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.

    SATA drive not being recognized on Gigabyte Mobo

    After I updated the BIOS to the latest version 8 I was able to have the SATA recognized.
    After running sfc /scannow for maintenance I can't get the SATA drive to boot first. It is recognized in the BIOS and is listed first in the boot order under Advanced BIOS Features.

    When the IDE drive boots it is not recognized in either Windows Explorer or disk management.

    Any thoughts on why I can't see the SATA drive anymore would be appreciated.

    Windows 11 not recognizing, displaying attached drives

    CD/DVD drive is not correctly displayed

    All the resolutions listed under Method 1 apply to the cases when CD/DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs. Fortunately, my drive is recognized by Windows and other programs. I tried all the step-by-step resolutions listed, but did not
    work. For some reason, my CD/DVD drive icon is not the right icon for the drive, and is for compact flash. Any idea?

    I also reset my BIOS settings back to factory reset, but it did not help.
