Phison Electronics has taken legal action against false documents that claim their controllers are prone to issues with the latest Windows 11 security updates. These reports suggest that certain SSD malfunctions may be related to these updates, titled KB5063878 and KB5062660.
Since the update rollout, users have reported issues such as SSD malfunctions when writing large files. Some outlets, like NichePCGamer, published lists of affected drives, which initially seemed to include only Phison controllers. However, it was later confirmed that other storage devices from different manufacturers are also impacted by these updates.
Phison initiated an investigation into the controller issues and released a statement addressing the matter. The company emphasized that there is no official or unofficial document from Phison claiming potential storage and data problems related to the August 12, 2025 Windows Security Updates. This false information is being dealt with through appropriate legal processes.
Phison noted that current online testing reports indicate the update may impact multiple vendor storage devices, including both SSDs and HDDs. The company is working closely with Microsoft to resolve this issue and maintain industry communications’ integrity. Phison’s only official statement on August 19, 2025, can be found [here](https://wccftech.com/windows-11-latest-update-is-reportedly-causing-widespread-ssd-failures/).
Phison also highlighted that the false documents appeared to originate from Phison but were entirely fabricated. The company is investigating an alleged attempt by a competitor to create panic around Phison-based SSDs. Phison has responded promptly to address both the main issue and these false claims.
