Hi everyone

 

I have a problem with a Intel RST drivers. I reinstalled yesterday Windows 10 to test what is the problem.

The problem is that when I reboot Windows 10 21H1 all SATA hard drives shut off and start again. It shouldn't work like this, drives should be powered all time during reboot

 

I figured out that, when I install RST driver (from gigabyte website for my mainboard and Intel website) the problem occours.
When I use default Windows driver (from Windows instalation) everything is ok (on reboot drives don't stop)

 

Is this normal or maybe mainboard is faulty?

 

My disk configuration
m.2 - Samsung 980
sata0 - Samsung 850 PRO
sata1 - no drive
sata2 - WDC WD60EFAX-68SHWN0
sata3 - WDC WD20EURX-63T0FY0
sata4 - BD drive
sata5 - DVD drive

 

OS:

Windows 10 Pro 21H1
Gigabyte Z590 Gaming X
Intel Core I5-11500
AHCI mode, No RAID
16GB RAM
