Windows 10 Storage Spaces virtual disks disappeared after failed Windows Update 1709

[sean.c.scott]

Similar to Failed Update 1709 Breaks 3 pools in Storage Spaces, when my computer rebooted after attempting to run automatic updates (failing to install update 1709), all of my storage spaces virtual drives were gone.

The drives show up in device manager, but not in disk management.

Similar to the linked post, all my drives that are in the storage pool are in "Starting" OperationalStatus:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-PhysicalDisk

FriendlyName SerialNumber MediaType CanPool OperationalStatus HealthStatus Usage Size
------------ ------------ --------- ------- ----------------- ------------ ----- ----
MUSHKIN MKNUFDVS32GB 077B05B34010 Unspecified False OK Healthy Auto-Select 29.45 GB

WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 WD-WCAZA5806429 Unspecified False Starting Unknown Unknown 1.82 TB

The storage space does seem to exist:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-StoragePool

FriendlyName OperationalStatus HealthStatus IsPrimordial IsReadOnly Size AllocatedSize
------------ ----------------- ------------ ------------ ---------- ---- -------------
Primordial OK Healthy True False 8.68 TB 8.19 TB

But unfortunately, nothing shows when looking for the virtual disk:


PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-VirtualDisk

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>



The original user post said they had backups of the data so they just reset the disks. I don't have that luxury as the whole point of using Storage Spaces was to have multi-disk resiliency of my data.

Any thoughts here would be greatly appreciated!
