Hello,
My PC that I built in July was working fine until today.
I decided to go to Asus and retrieve all the latest updates for my motherboard (which I didn't do during the build) TUF GAMING X570-PLUS WIFI.
I downloaded the graphics card drivers (Version 27.20.1020.1), BIOS (Version 2607), Audio (Version 6.0.8971.1), LAN (Version 10.42.526.2020), Utilities (Version 1.93), CHIPSET (Version 2.05.04.352), SATA (Version 9.3.0.38) that Asus offered.
Everything went well, I finished with the BIOS update which, once completed, automatically restarted my PC.
The PC reopened the BIOS and it no longer sees any disks. My Windows on my external hard drive cannot repair the problem.
Can you help me?

Hi
Updating the BIOS can sometimes affect the settings of the controllers, specifically SATA and M.2.
It's a common issue with Asus.
Ideally, you should check and remember the controller settings and the boot order before updating.
Since this step seems to have been overlooked, try reloading the default values in the BIOS. On an Asus, when you're in the BIOS, it's usually the F5 key (at the bottom of the page, the function is called "defaults" or "optimized defaults").
This will load the basic settings; if you hadn't changed anything in the BIOS when you installed your setup in July, this should be enough to regain control, otherwise you will need to remember the settings you had in the BIOS and redo them.

I review my position
I just unplugged my hard drives, then reconnected them one by one.
In fact, the BIOS sees my three hard drives, 2 AHCI and 1 NVME.
The "Boot priority" section of my motherboard's BIOS is empty.
My Windows disk cannot repair itself
And cannot reinstall Windows. When I select a disk, it tells me:
"This disk has an MBR partition table on EFI systems. Windows can only be installed on GPT disks."
Indeed, the title of my BIOS is "UEFI BIOS Utility- EZ mode"

Yes, I've read this recommendation several times online.
The problem is, I can't find the field in the BIOS that allows me to change this setting?????

So my mistake, the CSM parameter does exist....
It's actually in the "boot" section, to try out.
Otherwise, check the controller settings in the "advanced menu" then "sata config"

Okay, do you have multiple HDDs? At least two of 1 TB, right?
But which one has Windows? You also have an M.2, I suppose that's the one with Windows?
From the first page, if you go to the boot menu (F8 key), what do you see?
If you see the M.2, set it as the first priority, then save and exit the BIOS.

Thank you both (flo88, jfmimi) for your help and also for the existence of the CCM site. Its function is essential for people like me.
Indeed, by enabling "CSM execution," everything has returned to NORMAL, I have retrieved my BOOT and thus Windows is functioning.
jfmimi: I modified D.O.C.P. It doesn't show "enable," it presents "Profile#1" (D.O.C.P. DDR4-3200 16-18-18-36-1.35V) I think it's the same thing?
In fact, the BIOS update came because I was looking for a way to completely cut off the power to my PC when I turned it off (as the USB ports remain powered when the PC is off).
To achieve this, I need to act on the power supply switch, and this action is not satisfactory.
Can you help me?
The reason for my need is that I want to connect my computer system to a power strip with a master socket and make my PC the MASTER. However, the power consumption of the USB ports prevents the power strip from detecting the PC's shutdown.
Thanks again for your help.

The BIOS update will not change this.
You need to set the ErP option to enabled.
Advanced menu -> Advanced power management (APM config) -> ErP Ready
