Comment on Microsoft says recent Windows update didn't kill your SSD
Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoYou’re describing pretty much every used PC in existence. It’s hard not to come to the conclusion that there is no issue and that one guy’s SSD just failed like they do
and that one guy’s SSD just failed like they do
As mentioned in the article, “others have also encountered the same issue”.
It’s hard not to come to the conclusion that there is no issue
This assumption would not explain the surge of complains about it.
I’m not sure about that. There isn’t any evidence, that I know of, of a surge in complaints. Just a surge in reporting because one person blamed the update. storage fails all the time, so complaints are naturally constant.
Sorry for the double reply. Check this video, around 8:45 - someone managed to reproduce the issue, under different conditions, with the update in question. There’s also a second problematic update.
Here’s my hypothesis: from a quick websearch, a lot of people are getting error messages from this update (regardless of disk failure), it’s around 3GiB large, and classified as a security update. It’s possible that the system is trying to install it over and over and over, and this is unnecessarily stressing storage devices that would eventually fail anyway.
If my guess is correct there is a higher amount of complains, not just reports, but Microsoft won’t find the cause.
Of course, it’s just a guess - I don’t know if it’s correct.

Yeah according to another post in this very community, a third party ran tests and couldn't replicate the issue.
