    I didn't get affected but this is pretty lousy from MS. Although it seems to be the trend, poor QA testing. Apple have dropped some pretty shocking bugs in OSX and iOS too. These juggernauts are in too much of a hurry to push out update after update for some kind of bragging rights. I'm sure they know the software isn't always up to scratch. Personally I prefer consolidation and maturing OS but they are trying to pack too much 'new' and 'change'. Old bugs don't all get addressed, new bugs arise, rinse and repeat. It's a shame and it's tough to swallow - I know people enjoy the new builds etc etc but a lot of us don't fancy playing Russian roulette with our expensive machines. Hopefully though MS will see they dropped the ball badly here and as others have alluded will have this sorted/fixed quickly as its serious to probably catch their attention

    I have 2 desktop and 1 laptop with AMD chipset. I use the Windows 10 Standard SATA driver ver 10.0.14393.0 that came with 1607 upgrade and have no problems with my SSD or HDD. Just curious what SATA drivers are being used on the failing systems.

    The PC I had it happen on, is as follows:

    MotherBoard - Asus M4N68T-M V2 µATX Motherboard
    Chipset - NVIDIA nForce 630a / GeForce 7025
    Processor - AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb 3.7GHz
    Ram - 8GB 4GB X 2 Kingston PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz Memory
    Hard Drive - Crucial MX100 256 GB SSD and 1 TB WD Blue SATA

    All stock Windows supplied drivers.

    What SATA driver are you using?

    The stock Windows supplied driver. The ASUS supplied drivers for that motherboard are way out of date. The only driver I update manually is the video driver. The rest I just let Windows handle. Right now I'm still on the stock video driver. I haven't installed any games yet so I haven't bothered to update it.

    The act of uninstalling / reinstall the SATA drivers might be what clears up the issue as opposed to the driver or driver version.

    As funny as it sounds, I wish this issue happened on one of my machines.

    Keep in mind, people with issues are quick to post their issues on an online forum like this.
    Those that don't have any issues, hardly ever start a thread just to say nothing happened.
    Thus things will almost always appear to be a lot worse than they really are.

    For me it was something like 1 of 10 had an issue. Maybe even 1 or 12. I've lost track of how many test upgrades and clean installs I did.
    I've been using PC's since DOS and this is the one and only time anything like this has ever happened to me. I consider it a one of.
    Just my 2 cents. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
    I've only ever had two issues with updates:

    (1): some would not install via windows update, had to download and 'inplaceupgrade' using downloaded files;

    (2) Windows Defender itself updates consistently, but windows update often will not update defender's definitions.

    Also< I image my entire drive all partitions off of the machine periodically.

    I've had the Windows 10 Anniversary Update for 1 week now. This big/useless update caused my screen size to shrink. I had 2 inches around the four sides of my 23" Samsung monitor that were completely empty and unusable. Had to do some deep Googling to find that the only way to "stretch" the screen to make it fill the monitor again, was to manipulate some registry entries. (The regular screen resizing controls on the monitor, or through Windows 10, just couldn't make the screen stretch/expand far enough.)

    On another note, all the gripes about the EDGE browser are still there. Can't go back several pages at a time; very few print sizing options; can't do a right-click on a photo or image to print it. Also, Edge no longer gives the option to "Open" a downloaded file without saving/naming it first.

    I'm sure glad that Windows-10 was free...or I'd be royally pissed at how simple-minded Microsoft has become.

    looks like im in the clear nothing to me (AMD Chipset AMD A88X ) but dont know what driver, Despite i installed the AMD Catalyst Drivers for my board, the SATA Controller listed in the Device Manager is using windows Provided ones, CPU : AMD APU A10-7850K, Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H

    all my Externals read fine except strangely enough my 2TB was Inaccessible for an hour after the update then was working fine. i connect it to my XP PC now its reading as an GPT Protected Partition. i never remembered formatting it when i got it as an GPT Disk

    Glad to hear your drive was not affected - I think only a small number of people have been affected.

    Please clear up one thing for me: GPT Protected Partition is only when the drive is connected to the XP box ...
    it is normal when connected to the Win10 1607 box - is that correct?

    Curious that the drive was inaccessable for an hour

    HAL was working on it
