I have an Asus Zenbook. After/during the latest Windows 11 update, I am no longer able to boot into windows. I get Stop code: DRIVER PNP WATCHDOG BSOD, and sometimes INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE. I can't get to the recovery environment, although BIOS is still working.

2022-07-19T18:52:35+00:00 Hi again. The BIOS version is 2.20.0049. I reverted everything back to the original settings, so VMD is enabled. I also used the drivers from that link (non-VMD)

I would leave VMD enabled if that what is was before you started having this problem.
In the bios under SSD drives can you take a picture of the options please
When you installed the driver which driver did you download?
At this stage it's hard to say if your hardware is failing or Windows Update installed a driver that your system shouldn't have had installed.

2022-07-18T19:14:14+00:00 Thanks. That got me a little further, but i ran into the same error 5 minutes after starting the driver installation. Even when i disable VMD, the only drive recognized is the USB drive.
I really do appreciate the help
