Since Windows Update on May 7, 2021, some users have caused a blue screen due to the 'AMD SCSI Adapter 9.3.0.221' driver installed through Windows Update, and the error code 'INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE' is displayed on the system. There was a report that there was a problem that caused the crash.

There are also reports that 'SSD is no longer available'.

Knightcross Hayate also reported a bug that 'M.2 SSD does not appear in the disk management list after Windows Update'.

The bug in 'AMD SCSI Adapter 9.3.0.221' is especially noticeable for users of Gigabyte motherboards with the X570 chipset.

This issue was first reported on April 29, 2021 by users who participated in the Windows Insider Program , a program that tests new features in Windows, but it was released as an official version without being fixed. It seems.

At the time of writing the article, the driver in question has been removed from Windows Update. Benjamin Niaulin, a Reddit user who is a Microsoft employee, also reports on Reddit that 'the driver in question was removed from Windows Update until a fixed version was released.'

PC Gamer of overseas media speculates that the cause of the AMD SCSI Adapter malfunctioning is that 'under some incompatible environments, the AMD SCSI Adapter may be installed in the wrong place.' I am.

Reddit has also reported that if a problem occurs, the problem was solved by selecting 'Troubleshooting' from the Windows recovery environment that is automatically executed after the third reboot and performing 'Startup Repair'. I will. Startup repair can also be performed, for example by using a system repair disc.
