Microsoft is introducing a new feature into Windows 10, you'll be warned if there is a problem with our NVMe SSDs in order to circumvent catastrophic failures. Those in the Insider program can already try the new feature that reports problems and remembers you to make backups.

Microsoft will add this feature to Windows 10 to monitor NVMe-powered SSDs to prevent the loss of important data and files in cases of critical errors. The idea is not exactly to prevent the failure from happening , but to notify the user that a problem is occurring, so that they can back up their files in time.

This new feature was introduced in version 20226 of the operating system, which is now available for the Insider Preview program, the channel that always receives Windows updates first. With this function, we will use our PC normally, but if the system detects any type of failure, a notification will appear warning us that our storage device " may be at risk of failure and requires your attention ".

Clicking on the notification will provide more details about the status of the drive. In addition, Microsoft showed as an example a message that says “Attention: reliability degrades. Please backup your data in case of a drive failure. ”

Clicking on the notification or navigating to the drive properties page in Storage Settings (Settings -> System -> Storage -> Manage disks and volumes -> Properties) will provide additional details.
