This a 2017 home build with an Asus mobo and a Lexar M.2 ssd 250gb drive .... My pc was working fine then it had a MS update,I think is was the KB5030310,then when it restarted it said it had a problem then went into the bios ...... So I hit F10 and it just continues to go back into the bios so after checking the bios I find that it doesn't recognize my M.2 drive and that's probably why it can't boot to the desk top.
So the Drive is a 2017 NIB Lexar M.2 250gb does this lead one to think the drive has gone out or something else ..... Anybody have any ideas as to what I might try to get it to recognize the drive let me know .... I forgot to add it's running the latest windows 11 build.

Well I got up this morning and after looking at everything on the list from your link I first hit F5 to reset to defaults and that did the trick .... Now after 6 years what changed something in my bios to have to reset it to defaults I have no idea but it is recognizing my M.2 drive now and everything is working as it should.
