Hello, when I login to Windows my SSD drive (SanDisk Ultra 1TB) will sometimes not show up as accessible straight away and the whole system kind of gets stuck and when I try to open windows or folders nothing happens until the drive shows up. For example the drive is blank (as show in the picture) and I cannot open task manager, folders or any apps/programs until it shows up, then they all load up at the same time almost like it caused the whole system to lag.
The drive is not new but has been used by me for about 6 months and has been absolutely fine until my most recent re-install of Windows but the whole system worked fine before (I re-installed for a refresh). I know this is sometimes seen in external hard drives like some I own as you have to account for power saving and spin up time but this is not external but a sata drive.
I am very good with computers and always keep all my drivers and programs up to date and have done all the basic checks before asking like checked the cables and plugged it in different sata connectors on the motherboard, make sure it shows up properly in bios, my whole pc was recently re-installed (hence this new issue) so the drive has been formatted before use, checked it for errors, have installed the drivers I normally would but once it shows it works fine and loads games like normal so I am really stuck for answers.
Another small note and possibly unrelated is Uplay does not auto-load on start up and can take ages to load if I open it sometimes, I have Ubisoft games installed on the drive in question and have re-installed Uplay multiple times with no change.
PC Specs:
i9 9900k (stock no oc)
32GB Trident Z RGB 3600Mhz
Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master (Latest bios: F11c)
MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X
Boot/Main drive: Samsung 960 Evo M.2 NVME 256GB
SSD: SanDisk Ultra 1TB
Windows 10 Pro (2004) (Build: 19041.508)
Many thanks and kind regards
