Can't access ReFS partition after update on Windows 11 Pro

I configured storage spaces to be my primary data storage with multiple copies of data. I formatted the drive as ReFS, and let it do its thing. To be honest, W11Pro has been rock solid, no crashes, and I am running on a 13900k (I don't overclock so I haven't seen the issues).

Any rate, after an update, I couldn't access my drive (F:). I checked Drive Management, and my F: drive was listed as Raw.

    Avoid formatting or reinitializing until data recovery attempts are complete.

    First, check the partition status in Disk Management and run chkdsk /f to repair errors, or roll back the most recent Windows update.

      Windows 11 Pro dosen´t Support ReFS.
      You need Windows 11 Enterprise Version.
