You can try a different SATA port but since it's detected in BIOS and was working you might need to try and reinstall windows.it was working then stopped. BUT eben when it was working there were some problems like i could not select auto hide taskbar
okYou can try a different SATA port but since it's detected in BIOS and was working you might need to try and reinstall windows.
You have made no changes in BIOS correct.
Most of the time if it's a windows problem it trys to go into repair at least.
EDIT. When reinstalling windows make sure no other drives are connected but the SSD.
