I'm dealing with a frustrating SSD issue just like the one highlighted in a JayzTwoCents video about Windows 11. I saw the video shortly after it happened to me, while I was gaming and my PC unexpectedly froze. It led me to the BIOS with my SSD not being detected, but after a cold reboot, the drive came back. I've actually uninstalled a previous update from around mid-August, but I'm worried it might not be enough. I'm wondering if doing a clean install of Windows 11 from a USB (I have version 26100.1742t ready to go) and using a tool like WUB to block updates would help. Alternatively, should I consider installing Windows 10 LTSC? Or is it too late for my SSD once this kind of issue occurs?

When it comes to SSD issues after a Windows update, it's always best to back up your data before making any changes. While some think it's not related to Windows, many users have reported it happening specifically with Windows 11. It might just be a safe move to do a clean install to get a fresh start and block those updates for now. Just make sure your backups are solid first!
Honestly, the problem seems to be tied to Windows since other OS like Linux are not showing similar issues with SSDs lately. Installing Windows 10 LTSC could offer a more stable experience, especially if you’re worried about updates messing things up. Just make sure you keep monitoring your SSD's health after the installation.
Valid point about Linux not having these problems. If the cause is Windows, LTSC might be the way to go for a more reliable setup. I’d consider that for sure!
Definitely agree on the backup! It's not worth the risk of losing data. A clean install sounds like a smart approach to avoid future hiccups.
