Windows 10 will no longer launch in AHCI because SSD SATA ports are not detected.

[Rahhimidoff]

Despite working normally after the upgrade and launching in AHCI mode, Windows 10 suddenly stopped working correctly because the SATA ports are not recognized. I get a black screen saying reboot and select proper boot device. To make it work, I have to restart and change to IDE in BIOS, restart again and then change it back to AHCI in BIOS. Only then it launches normally. Any idea [watch the tone and language] is going on?

Can you please pass on your full systems specs? The issue, when dealing with BIOS', would relate to the system either not having support for the OS via a BIOS update or that a couple of device drivers may be causing conflict.

If the issue came around after a mandatory Windows update then go to a point prior to the update via the system restore route and lastly you can try a repair install.
