Nov 13, 2015 I finally narrowed it down to the AHCI driver Windows 10 installs for the AMD SATA Controller. I downloaded and installed the latest AMD chipset driver 15.7.1, but the installer doesn't update the AHCI driver. I had to manually update the driver in device manager and point it to where the installer extracted the drivers. If you disable this service, Windows 10 will fail to start. Do NOT change this service startup configuration if your computer is working. Restore Default Startup Type for Microsoft Standard SATA AHCI Driver Automated Restore. Select your Windows 10 edition and release, and then click on the Download.

Standard Sata Ahci Controller Driver Update
Hello,
I have the Maximus V Formual which has the Intel Z77 chipset. I just did a clean install of Windows 10 64Bit.
Sadly I did NOT find much drivers on Asus website, in particular the SATA drivers for the Intel SATA Controller. In device manager I have listed under IDE ATA/ATAP Controllers category the following 3 entries: Standard SATA AHCI Controller.
Without the proper driver, performance and functionality is limited, correct?
Any suggestions where I can download the Intel SATA Driver for Windows 10?
Thank you
