Is this 100% an OS issue, or a hardware issue just being made apparent by the OS doing something weird?

Most likely an hardware issue, ZFS has seen similar types of corruption with certain drives under normal operation.
That makes sense.
While windows doing a bunch of IO is silly and probably could be more efficient, it sounds like the blame is the SSD controllers crapping out when asked to do exactly what they advertise they are supposed to do (high throughput IO).

WELL...? WE'RE WAITING.gif
Please hit my work computer plz plz plz
Just update, find a script to repeatedly write a 50gb file filled with garbage, and pray it kills your drive.
I know this is mostly a joke but most corporate security monitor the running scripts
Well, do it manually then! Without internet, you can't send any tracking to the corporate, and without a working drive the data will be unreadable after you are done ;)
This Post was the final straw for me. Just spent the afternoon setting up Linux Mint Mate and it's working well so far!
I so much want to, but the programs I run are partly windows only. I don't know how to switch yet. Next to that, I tried Linux once but was unable to reach netwerk drives from my NAS. I tried everything, none of the solutions I found actually worked. I seem to have a curse running into issues no one else had. Struggling my whole life with that. Today I spent the entire day fixing Kodi, which suddenly stopped working. None of the solutions on internet worked. I managed to fix it my own way, eventually. Just to play a video without losing my "videos watched".
MS is working hard to force me though. I'm almost as far as to say goodbye to apps I've used my whole life. Like Directory Opus for example.
Have you tried some of the dual panel file managers that run on Linux? What Directory Opus has that is not in other FM?
I used total commander when I was young, but I like the folder tree view and the massive amount of options to personalize it to my needs. Also the flawless network drive and ftp compatibility, tabs, it's own file transfer system and mass file renaming function. Haven't found something similar yet (but maybe didn't search well enough). Oh and color options, so my screens are all dark view exactly the way I want it.
Yeah, at some point 'cabt on linux' becomes synonymous with 'cant'
Welp, Windows 11 is going to make me quit my sysadmin job of 15+ years, after all. I already refuse to use it at home but have no options at work. Bet dollars to donuts this was some sort of vibe coder AI fuck up we'll never be able to confirm.
I haven't had disk issues, am running a 980 Pro SSD currently, but I've definitely noticed other weirdness that sure feels more like that? Half-Life crashing repeatedly in map loads sometimes succeeding fine and other times not. Firefox broke wholesale until I reinstalled it and even then had to do a refresh to fully solve it. I haven't seen anything else weird thankfully but this definitely has me concerned and glad I'm backing up with a very long rolling period just in case. Gonna uninstall this update for sure.
Just a heads up in case you haven't updated firmware on your 980. I wasn't aware of the problem and lost my c drive a few months back.
Again, why are people paying money for this bullshit?
This is just normal and on par for Microsoft. When was the last time they didn't fix a security issue because they didn't wanted the bad publicity, causing the US government to be hacked?
Oohh, we will never do it again, pinky promise!
Microsoft's evil but oh my fucking god, they're so incompetent that they can't even be evil without fucking shit up
Install Linux already,.be done with the nonsense

windows quality has seemingly took a nosedive after 7 and never recovered. glad to have left.
I thought 10 was fine too, didn't like the new menu bullshit though. I use Arch by the way.
10 was the last windows version i dailied on my personal machine. the whole forced update fiasco had made me lose work, and was the writing on the wall for shitty things that came after.
If windows 7 was still supported it would be my go to for the rare “I need windows” moments. Windows 11 seems sluggish to me
It would be fun if your next "I need Windows" OS was ReactOS and have less problems than using Windows.
windows 11 is just ridiculous. it's slow even on state of the art computers, takes 6-8gb of ram just to idle on the damn desktop.
I got my father onto Linux a while ago and the first thing he commented on was how snappy the whole system was

This was the push I needed to get off Windows completely. Some update broke Bluetooth connectivity. It's penguins all the way down for me now.
God damn, after ~20 years of being off Windows reading about problem after problem on each and every update is exhausting.
How do you all (Windows users) deal with this shit?
This is the first Windows update that has significantly altered how my daily driver laptop works (read: for the worse).
It's too inconvenient to use a Windows computer anymore. I'm switching to Linux
Wait 3 weeks before applying updates and let other people be the guinea pigs. It's usually enough time for things like this to be caught and withdrawn by MS.
I delayed the 24h2 update as long as Windows physically let me which was like a month or two I think? After that delay ended my only option was to download cause it was popping up in an intrusive way every single hour... God I hate windows so much.

Yeah I remember when Linux Update did this . . . oh wait, no I don't.
I think I do but I'm not sure. I seem to remember some years back when a kernel version was released and due to a bug on either a driver or a filesystem, as soon as you started writing it would override the partition table or something like that

I am using three drives on that list. Uninstalled KB5063878 and blocked updates for over a month.

Just vibecoding a kernel module, nothing out of the ordinary at Microsoft.
Oh look a whole new reason to avoid windows 11.
