1.Reboot Your Computer
Sometimes, a simple reboot can fix problems after an update.
2. Check Hardware Connections
Reseat the M.2 Drive: Power off your computer, unplug it, and carefully reseat the M.2 drive to ensure it has a good connection.
Inspect for Damage: Look for any physical damage on the M.2 drive and the motherboard connector.
3. Enter BIOS/UEFI
Boot into your BIOS/UEFI settings and check if the M.2 drive is recognized.
Also, check your boot settings to ensure the drive is set as a boot option if necessary.

Rebooting didnt fix it. Checked M.2 stuff still working perfectly fine just couldn't boot into Windows, Entered BIOS and it recognized it there but still no luck, What I done is Just reinstall windows on my other M.2 as I can access of the files and everything from the old windows install, That is what I am currently doing, bit long winded I must say,
Plan now is once I get everything backed up I am going to reformat both drives to delete everything and start fresh as its becoming a pain having 2 windows installed but only of them works when booting up the system with the WIndows Boot Manager.
But thank you for the advice.
