I have 4 drives total in my new build:
ASUS PRIME x570-P mobo build 3001 (Dec. 8th 2020)
1x NVMe
2x SATA SSD
1x SATA HDD

I installed Windows 10 on one of the SATA SSD's and after checking Disk Manager, the NVMe is not listed as an unallocated drive. I tried rescanning refreshing and nothing. I restarted the computer and checked UEFI BIOS and sure enough, its there.
All 4 drives show up.
3 SATA's in AHCI and one drive in NVMe.
Ran the NVMe Device Self Test and it passed just fine.

BIOS is the latest version and now I'm stuck. I even tried using the windows 10 USB to reformat the NVME (which appeared to complete just fine) but after loading back into windows, the NVMe is still missing from Disk Management.
So I've seen a few other threads showing fixes by clicking CHANGE SETTINGS under Manage Storage Spaces but for me the CHANGE SETTINGS button is absent from that screen...
Any ideas?

Just as a quick update, since its a new build, I reinstalled windows on the NVME and reformatted the original boot drive (SATA SSD) to be a basic storage drive and now all 4 drives show up on disk management and everything works fine. Its not the ideal situation but at least I can utilize all 4 drives. Still curious if anyone knows why this happens.
