Has anyone ever had this issue with NVMe SSDs?
“A device which does not exist was specified.”
Is this a hardware defect? The drive (PNY CS3140 1TB) is only about 5 weeks old. It seems to fix itself after a couple of reboots, but it’s very annoying. Linux doesn’t seem to have any issues with it yet.

Could be an issue with the PCIe drivers (i.e. chipset driver). If the drive goes into gone mode, check device management to see if the drive shows up at all. If it does, open disk management to see if the partitions initialise at all.
If your drive is detected, go to device management to see which PCI subsystem it’s connected to by selecting it and then go to View - devices by connection.
If it is detected, you can also check its values with something like CrystalDisk to see if something is wrong.
Lastly, if you have another NVMe drive lying about (long shot, I know), chuck it in the same port as the failing one and reboot a couple of times to see if something breaks.
To sum up: it’s either the drive or the PCI interpretation layer in Windows. Eliminate to find the cause, then fix that. Since it works fine in Linux I think you can rule out hardware issue.
