Okay so now there’s another issue, I checked to see if one of my drivers was outdated but when I reinstalled some of em my internal ssd not registering. Doesn’t show up at all in disk management
 
I used a program called DriverFix, and my ssd is a different drive from my C:\ drive, it’s a M.2 ssd
 
Sorry I worded it wrong, my c drive is a a normal ssd, my missing drive is a m.2 drive
 
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.

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.
 
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?
 
some things to check and think about doing.

Go into the BIOS see if the M2 is listed.

Is there anything on that drive?

Have you looked in Disk Manager to see if it is there?

Making sure to take all the precautions reseat the M2.

I have had to boot system without devices connected to get the system to re recognize it properly.
 
Yea so it is in the bios as a boot option
There are some adobe programs and video footage stuff on the drive, nothing essential but still
It isn't listed in the disk manager
I've tried reinstalling the m.2 before but that didn't work, should I turn it on without the driver installed and then reinstall it?
