Hi!
I ran in unexpected and so frustrating problem as Windows Update corrupted my all partitions. EXCEPT NVME hard drive with itself. I heard of Windows Update deleting User profile data. I had backups of that but I would never thought that having more than one hard drive will be a problem today.
In process of troubleshooting I went to internet after "Windows Advisor" and "Windows Advocate" being hopeless about this problem. Unable to help. I know the data (some of it) should be there we all know data does not go bye bye when u even format drives I lost one because I let Windows Advisor guide me to make new partition table on one of not so important hard drive that contained mostly games and game saves. And Windows Advisor seem to be familiar with this happening after Windows Update pointed to MBR problem, could not recommend me any tools and Windows Advocate Said literally go to local technician "Good luck, Cant help you much more then wipe your drives and cause more damage."
So what I also localized with much helpful Advisor it could be caused by MBR file system. I use one drive that was formatted with extended partition of 2 TB and that split up in 2 logical partitions No Primary as it was used for storage only in my previous builds. I ran trough gParted to see if it is as serious as it looks so RAW partition and it is confirmed all partitions look "empty" regardless of data that was there before Update.
I highly doubt it is not recoverable without Recovery equipment since Both Windows and Linux don't seem to see it and gparted is superior tool than Disk management and other windows tools
This is How it looks:

They all look like RAW and Disk Management says they RAW. But In Device manager my partitions show up the way I named them before Windows Update what was IGNORED by Technician and Advisor under "Portable Devices" they are hidden.
