After adding and m.2 SSD to my PC , It didnt show up in My PC, I found it in Disk Management . Initialized and formatted it and it was fine. After few windows updates and driver updates, after a restart it went missing. BIOS detects it but not windows. Not under Device Manager > Show Hidden Devices as well. Still thinking what to do...
 
Solution
If you are using any SATA ports, make sure you use them in order, e.g. if you have six SATA ports and you are using two, use SATA ports 1 & 2, not 5 & 6. If you are using SATA port 5 & 6, it will interfere with the M.2 channels causing interference.
