This update is important for <strong>new Windows ISO installations<\/strong> as the installation image may contain old, outdated malware definitions and software binaries. Updating Defender ensures that the fresh installs are protected from the latest threats and can also provide improved performance benefits.<\/p><p>As part of the same rollout, Microsoft also released the Windows 11 24H2 cumulative package KB5063878 that was meant to improve security and system stability. However, soon after deployment, some users are reporting issues like: solid-state drive (SSD) failures, data corruption risks, and unexplained crashes under heavy workloads.<\/p><p>In this article, let&rsquo;s decode the problem and how to identify it, and ultimately, ways to safeguard your files.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"early-problems-with-kb5063878\"><strong>Early Problems with KB5063878<\/strong><\/h2><p>Right after Microsoft released the KB5063878 update, many people couldn&rsquo;t install it. The update failed with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/article\/fix-0x80240069-error-on-windows.php\">error code 0x80240069<\/a>, which Microsoft later admitted was a problem on their side and then fixed.<\/p><p>Once the installation issue was fixed, another issue showed up when people tried to install the update: <strong>some users started having trouble with their storage drives (SSDs)<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-users-discovered-the-problem\"><strong>How Users Discovered the Problem<\/strong><\/h2><p>Community testers began investigating these reports. A Japanese tester, <strong>NichePCGamer<\/strong>, ran big tests on <strong>21 different SSDs<\/strong> to see what was happening and discovered a repeated failure pattern:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Copy a <strong>large game folder<\/strong> to the SSD.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save a 62 GB archive full of video files on the same SSD.<strong> <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unzip or extract that archive on the same device.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>During this process, many SSDs stopped responding once about 50 GB of data had been written continuously. In some cases, drives suddenly disappear and their SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) data becomes unreadable by Windows.<\/p><p>The problem seemed to affect certain SSD models, especially those using Phison controllers and DRAM-less models. Tests found the issue often occurs on some NVMe SSDs, and even HDDs<strong> <\/strong>are more than60% full, and about 50 GB of data is written at once.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"warning-for-windows-11-users-(update-kb5063878)\"><strong>Warning for Windows 11 Users (Update KB5063878)<\/strong><\/h2><p>The August 2025 Windows 11 update (KB5063878) may cause the following problems with <strong>SSDs and possibly HDDs, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cybersecuritynews.com\/windows-11-24h2-security-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">as per the report<\/a><strong>:<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drives can <strong>disappear or stop working<\/strong> during large file transfers (around 50GB+).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Folders may still show, but files often can&rsquo;t be opened.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restarting the PC may temporarily store the drive, but the issue reoccurs under the same workload.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disabling features like HMB doesn&rsquo;t help; testers suspect a Windows memory leak during buffered writes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a <strong>real risk of data loss<\/strong> if users keep pushing the SSD under heavy loads.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-you-lose-data-after-updating?\"><strong>Can You Lose Data After Updating?<\/strong><\/h2><p>Yes, you <em>can<\/em> lose data after installing update KB5063878, especially if you perform a large file transfer process.
