Latest Windows update is borking storage drives for some users

The latest Windows update has introduced a bug that is causing severe stability issues for some users, particularly affecting their solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs). The issue has been reported on the latest 24H2 versions of Windows 11 and Windows 10, with users reporting that their storage drives, including those hosting the Windows operating system, have become inaccessible. The bug appears to be triggered by heavy write sessions to NVMe SSDs and hard drives, potentially resulting in file corruption. While rebooting the system may help in some cases, the problem seems to be persistent for a small number of users. The issue has not been narrowed down to a specific range of drive models, and it remains unclear whether a firmware update could resolve the problem, as was the case with a similar issue last year. Microsoft is aware of the problem and is likely working on a fix, but in the meantime, users affected by this bug may need to take precautions to protect their data and ensure the stability of their systems.
