I have recently been having trouble with my Samsung PM961 M.2 drive.
I was on Windows 10 Version 1703 and it would not update past that, it would blue screen every time and give the error: 0xc00000bb.
I contacted Microsoft support and they pointed the finger at Samsung for not releasing drivers for that model of M.2.
I then contacted Samsung which pointed the finger and Microsoft for not supporting that drive.
I contacted a Samsung specialist which told me I am unable to update due to the lack of drivers.
I decided to purchase a 960 EVO M.2 drive as I saw they had drivers and I was told that drive would work by the Samsung specialist.
I reinstalled Windows 10 and I came to the same version as my previous M.2 drive and the same thing happens, it blue screens with the error 0xc00000bb whenever I try to update past 1703.

I tried to contact both supports again however both were of no help.
I do not know what is causing the issue, could the issue be my Windows 10 USB installer or is it with the Samsung drives themselves?

I am not sure if Installing Windows 7 and then updating to Windows 10 would work or that maybe making a new USB Windows 10 installer could be the issue.
I now have two M.2 devices ruining my system with the constant update reminders.
 
Solution
Why do you need to install Windows 10 1703 ?
Download/create a new installation media and install Windows 10 1709 right away.

I installed windows 10 1709 just last week on Samsung PM961 M.2. Didn't have any issues.

I believe my installation USB may be the base Windows 10 without any updates?
When I contacted Microsoft Support again they said that would not be an issue, for some reason the had me download and make and ISO of Windows before the support agent just vanished.
