Microsoft — Windows NVMe storage driver
When blamed in a crash: Often a victim, dig deeper
What to do
Windows' built-in NVMe driver. Usually the SSD's firmware or the SSD itself is the real cause.
- Update the SSD firmware with the maker's tool (Samsung Magician, WD Dashboard, ...).
- Check the drive's SMART health and back up if anything looks off.
- Update the motherboard BIOS — NVMe compatibility fixes ship there.
