I recently updated my system with KB5063878, which is known to cause problems with SSD drives. While I initially transferred two large files (50GB each) from my phone to my WD Blue SN5000 NVMe drive (not my OS drive) and installed a 120GB game without any issues, I decided to revert to KB5062553 just in case. However, today, I again moved close to 100GB of files to the same NVMe and installed another game. While verifying the game on Epic Games, my cursor started lagging and then I encountered a BSOD. The PC restarted too quickly for me to catch the error code.
When I tried to boot, my OS drive, a Lexar NM620 250GB, was missing from the boot menu. After a power cycle on my PSU, the system booted back into Windows. The Event Viewer mentions an unexpected reboot at 8:34 PM, but I don't see any relevant logs for that time. I'm worried that the KB5063878 update might have corrupted something on the SSD controller, which is causing issues even after reverting.

It sounds like your system encountered a pretty common BSOD issue due to NVMe instability from the KB5063878 update. Corruption that happens while this update is applied may not get fixed just by reverting. Here are some suggestions for you:
1. **Backup:** First and foremost, make sure to back up any important data on your WD Blue SN5000 NVMe because it's showing signs of instability.
2. **Check Firmware:** Make sure to check for any firmware updates for your NVMe SSD. WD has released updates for the SN5000 model to help prevent further corruption.
3. **Avoid Heavy Writes:** Try to refrain from doing large file transfers until you ensure that the firmware is updated and the drive is stable.
4. **Think About Reinstalling the Update:** If you need the features or fixes that KB5063878 provides, you might need to reinstall it. Just remember to back everything up first before reapplying any updates.
