Question How do I fix my Disks not discovered by 3rd party apps?

Hi, About 6 weeks ago, I upgraded to Windows 11 doing a full wipe and format to NTFS and GPT partitions format on my Samsung 870 Drive SSD, I had issues installing it which resulted me doing more formatting using Command prompt. Lately having more issues but most important is that 3rd party apps stopped detecting my SSD and HDD for some reason.
NOTE: It used to work on my Windows 11 but now it strangely stopped working (I think)
I need to get Samsung Magician to work to look at my SSD settings, but everything shows up as N/A and "Unsupported". CrystalDiskInfo Cannot extract info about disks from my system

I tried chkdsk, sfc /scannow, disabling bit locker but I'm out of ideas

May anyone help me? Thanks
Fyi, my motherboard is running on AHCI instead of RAID

Try running a hard drive scan on c: with both commands...

Open a command prompt window and type the commands below, pressing Enter after each one.

sfc /scannow

Then type...

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Can you remember what commands you typed in?

Looking at your Disk Management screen shot, you seem to have a rather non-standard "mish mash" of Windows partitions spread over two drives.

I'd expect to see the 450MB and 99MB hidden partions on the 465GB drive 0, because that's where your visble partition (drive C) containing Windows is located. Why you've got two Recovery partitions, one on each drive looks very odd.

I'd be inclined to remove all drives except the one you want to use for Windows and reinstall the OS.

Yeah it was probably when I was formatting the drive to work for Windows 11 during installation, I do not want to screw up my system, I don't understand all this disk stuff so I might need some help
