Microsoft latest update for Windows 11 KB5063878 is causing some SSDs to crash and fail if writing 50+ GB of data to it. Here is one of many articles regarding this.

If you don’t have the work load of transferring lots of data to the SSD then likely you are fine but if you do transfer a lot of data to the SSD at one time and your drive is getting low in space then I suggest you uninstall the update and pause for 5 weeks for updates till MS fixes this issue.

To uninstall the update click Start-Settings-Windows Update. Select Update history. Check you have it listed its installed. If so then scroll down to the bottom and select Ununstall updates. Select KB5063878 and select Uninstall. Once uninstalled need to restart. After restart go back to Windows Updates and select Pause updates and change it to 5 weeks so that it does not get reinstalled.

Halnor Computers set up a wireless printer I ordered online for me. Very knowledgeable and reasonable in pricing. Highly recommended. Darlene Cherry
Steve is my "go to guy" for anything computer related. Always willing to help out with my very limited technical computer skills, repairs my computer in a timely manner and always stands behind his work. No one better in Simcoe or area for computer issues of any kind in my opinion.

Excellent service. He was able to resurrect my 13 year old PC build that wouldn’t turn on and hard drive failure. No cost assessment and fair prices for repair. Will be back for any future repairs.
I brought a brand new desktop back in Mid-November 2023, from Hal Nor Computers; I still very happy with my computer ever since!
THANK-YOU Hal Nor Computers!!!!!!!!!
