Updated to Windows 10 Creator (64) and backups to internal SATA drive (attached to PCIe SATA 6 card) do not work

Thread needs solution

I am running the latest build of ATI 2017NG. On Tuesday I diecided to take up the invitation to update to latest build of Windows 64. All seemed to go well with the upgrade until I tried to do a local backup to WD 10000rpm HDD attached PCIe SATA adapter. ATI 2017NG claims it could not find the location which is shown as being "valid" in File Mnager. I note that in Device Manager it is classified as a USB removable device - presumably because the card support hot swap do drives.

Rinstalled ATI 2017NG and the problem is still there. Created a new backup task to the same drive and it worked. My recollection is that the drive is attached to an ASMedia 106x SATA contoller, although it is possilble is is attahed to a Marvell 91XX 6G Contoller. The disk drive (under disk drives) is described as a SCSI Disk Device. I note that the Marvel card is desctibed ans a SCSI Processor Device. I checked the security settings for the old and new backup and they were the same. I am at a loss.

I have sent in App feedback so hopefully Acronis engineers will have a solutions.

Odd, since Windows shos the device as a removable drive it should work.  Is it possible that a restart of Windows to reinitialize the drive may help?

Tried restarting windows. Closed down last night and booted up again this morning. I am wondering if somehow the task parameters were corrupted as part of the process. The really weird thing is that I can go through the recovery process ... bring up the partition listing without any problem; also recovery of files. I immediately tried to get the backup to run and got the same messagte the backup loation was not found on the destination drive. This makes no sense as it was found when trying to do various types of recovery.
