Framework Desktop Not Booting After Updating to Windows 11 25H2

Framework Desktop

Hi all, I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem. My 64GB 395+ FW Desktop no longer turns on after shutting down and applying Windows Update 25H2. There is a solid orange light near the top right active as soon as I plug in the desktop and I believe LED2 blinks once when pressing and holding the power button. Really frustrating since all I did was some light local LLM work with GPT-OSS 20B earlier today. I’ve tried resetting the mainboard. I didn’t make any other changes besides updating Windows when shutting down earlier. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: In case someone comes across this, I’ve addressed the issue by resetting the mainboard and uninstalling and reinstalling my primary drive. It works as it should now without any drive corruption. I hadn’t moved the machine or anything but I’m not sure if something had needed to be reseated.

This is really odd. I have this same Windows update and did not experience any issues. My guess is there is something messed up with the hardware, double check connections and likely this needs a support ticket.
