    what did you use to see if any drivers were outdated?
    is your SSD your C:\ drive?

      I used a program called DriverFix, and my ssd is a different drive from my C:\ drive, it’s a M.2 ssd

          while not experienced with DriverFix, I’m yet to see any of those sort of programs that do not make things worse, or are simply just spam filled pieces of crap.

          either way, I’m assuming the SSD was detectable before you ran DriverFix?

              Why not to depend on third party programs.

              Page 1 of 2 - Windows 10 Driver Updating. - posted in Windows 10 Discussion: I am rather peed-off by driver updating programs saying a number of my drivers are out-of-date. Of course they are out-of-date - time moves on. There are a number of credible driver updating programs available. My Avast AV has just said that my drivers need updating. A ploy to buy their program and wreck my PC.   Since Windows includes drivers in their updates (it has updated 12 so far on my PC), I see no saf...

If not , then why and what is your best alternative ?  


              Suggest that you perform a system roll back and hope that corrects the issue.

                    Do you remember which devices that the program updated?

                    Open Device Manager
                    Open one of the list and then double click on the device
                    Select the Driver Tab
                    If Roll Back Driver is not grey out, you could be able to use this to get the previous driver back.

                        reboot the PC into Safe Mode and see if the drive becomes seen then.
                        also try creating another user account and log in under that and see if that helps.

                          Might also go to the manufactures site and get the correct drivers and install them.

                            So the second user and the safe mode didn’t work. Also yes I installed the correct drivers from the manufacturer’s website just to be safe.

                              I checked my bios recognized it and it wasn’t a hardware issue and the bios does detect it as a boot option so does that mean it is being detected just not by windows?
