I had windows booting from my M.2. after two clean installs I only added the data drive when then M.2 didn't load and run all my games.

I did everything. Clean install of windows, driver updates, firmware updates, everything. Again, I have returned all of this, and I am looking for advice on what to build next.

The motherboard, CPU, M.2, cooler, and RAM were new. Everything else was brought over from my older system.

Thank you for the reply Colif, but I just returned the processor, motherboard, Ram, and M.2 card yesterday. I could not resolve the Volmgr errors. I know it may seem like overkill to return the guts of my system to the vendor, but, after 10 days, I grew weary of constantly troubleshooting a...

Colif, I downloaded the two applications, and it seemed that the WD drive needed a firmware update. I just did that so maybe that was the problem. I will let you know. Thank you for your help.

I did change the size of the VM, how do I set it back to defaults. I had it set at 16000 and 32000 so I could run Star citizen, but I have just reset it to 8000 and 16000 while writing this email. I also had "automatically manage paging size files" unchecked. Should I change these values and...

I think I found the answer, but not what I was looking for. I think the one M.2 drive is resource-starved. In summary: Out of the 24 PCIe lanes the Ryzen 9 5900x has. 16 are taken up by the GPU, 4 for the M.2, and the remaining 4 for motherboard support. That is why the second m.2 needed to be...

Thanks for the reply John. I still am a bit surprised that Steam will not run applications, on an M.2, at least in this configuration.
