In recent weeks, Windows 11 August 2025 updates Some SSDs were allegedly disrupting. However, the tests of Microsoft and Phison revealed that these claims were not true.
The first claims came up after the KB5063878 and KB5062660 updates. Some users on social media claimed that their SSDs became invisible and their data disappeared. The shares spread in a short time and the targeted drivers with Phison control. However, the scope of the incident was quite limited. It was seen that there were very low examples compared to the number of users. Therefore, it was understood that the allegations did not affect a large audience.
After learning the allegations, Phison launched comprehensive tests on August 18th. The company conducted a total of 4,500 hours of trial in the 2.200 test cycle. As a result, no errors reported in any test. Phison also reported that he did not receive any feedback from his business partners or customers. Nevertheless, he suggested the use of refrigerators or thermal pads to prevent SSDs from overheating in high data spelling. In addition, technical findings that would be concerned about the reliability of the drivers could not be reached.
Microsoft could not find a link between updates and SSD faults
Microsoft also shared his own assessment in a short time. Company, August 2025 Security Updates and SSD announced that there is no technical link between problems. As a result of the investigations, there was no common problem with software. In addition, user reports may be caused by local problems in hardware series. However, some individual cases were exaggerated on social media. For this reason, Microsoft announced that the updates can be safely uploaded.
The social media sharing of a user from Japan became the starting point of claims. Then some users from different countries said that they had similar problems. Especially during game installations, for example Cyberpunk 2077 It was claimed that drivers disappeared from the system in high -sized games such as. Despite this, these examples remained in a very limited number. In addition, there was no evidence that all of these cases were caused by the update alone. In addition to all these, the possibility of the incident could be due to hardware.
Phison’s test results and Microsoft’s official statements weakened the allegations. The fact that errors could not be repeated in thousands of hours of tests was an important indicator. Microsoft’s additional investigations also confirmed this. However, users’ regular data transfers backup It was reminded that he would do it. On the other hand, manufacturers pointed out the appropriate cooling solutions for the long -term performance of the SSDs. Thus, although social media, the source of the allegations has put forward a different picture of technical data.
Microsoft and Phison’s joint statements invalidated rumors that Windows 11 updates broke the SSDs. It is stated that the problems experienced by users may be related to local hardware failures. It was emphasized that the updates are important for security. Therefore, users should continue to install updates. It was also recalled that the simplest measure against data losses was regular backup.
