SAMSUNG SSD 990 EVO Plus (m.2)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 HD3P-CF
Windows NT Home
I see the SSD in the Bios but not in the manager or explorer.
When booting from an old windows 10 disk it is visible, but not in Windows NT
Please help!
Thanks!

Boot your PC int BIOS, then find the SATA Mode setting, what is that set to?

I did some research here, I started up in win 10 pro and did the pc health check, to see if I can update there. It says no because of the secure boot you need. Is it possible that the driver update in win 11 destroyed this boot? As I mentioned before, win 11 was perfectly running 4 days ago.
That update did something! Windows 11 and secure boothttps://support.microsoft.com/nl-nl/windows/windows-11-en-secure-boot-a8ff1202-c0d9-42f5-940f-843abef64fad

2025-03-18T16:03:25+00:00 Before the blue screen appears, do you not see the spinning dots, or if the automatic repair fails, do you not get a blue screen with two buttons with one labelled 'Advanced Options'?

2025-03-18T15:47:09+00:00 Tried this before but ok did it again, bluescreen -critical service failed- and then preparing automatic repair, this in a loop, sometimes bluescreen with -driver pnp watchdog-. Whats this ???
The beginning:
I installed the samsung ssd 990 evo plus, visible in bios, not visible in win 11, visible in win 10 pro.
Updated the bios, same same, not visible in win 11.
Updated drivers, your partner gave me this info and link:
Below is the support page for your motherboard, from the Storage section, download and re-install the version of Intel RST drivers they provide, restart your PC and check if you can see that drive.
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z370-HD3P-...
Then the problems started to get more strange, win 11 not starting up.
