I have my PC running Win 10 Pro 64bit Upgraded from Win 7 Pro 64bit 29/07/2016.
When Booting lately, I have got into the habit of checking to see if all 4 Drives are found, and they are found.
In general terms it has been running OK with just the odd issue happening occasionally, until recently.
In recent times, I can be working in an Application, not always the same one, and the Application stops responding and I have to shut it down and a System Reboot fixes the issue, initially an unknown cause.
It was not until this morning, when working in My Money, that I discovered the cause of these Freezes. When My Money stopped Responding and I had closed it, I opened This PC and found my E: Drive (Data Storage) was not there - all other drives were there.
This ties in with the loss of other Hard Drives I have needed to work in and found to have been Dropped Of the System.
In all instances a Reboot has restored the Hard Drives, so it was not from loose or bad cables, as can be the case.
Whilst I cannot be precise, I tend to think all of this has happened after recent Updates, from early September onwards, including KB3199209 18/10/2016.
Another thing I have noticed lately with 1 Hard Drive that is formatted as GPT and with 2 Data Partitions is:- only the first partition shows in This PC, whilst both partitions are seen in EasUs Partition Master - Strange and Disconcerting to say the least.
Never during the life of Win 7 Pro, did I ever encounter such annoying issues as I am experiencing with Win 10.
I, like many others, am sick and tired of Microsoft interfering with ones Personal Settings and Setup of their machine Software. Many of us setup our PCs to be more functional and to work the way we want them to, which obviously Microsoft could not care less about - They are Invading our Space and we do not like that.
However, can someone please explain the cause of my Hard Drive problems as this is rather disconcerting when my work is interrupted by a Freeze of a Critical Application.
