You mean that the driver didn't solve the problem, or that it didn't even install because it wouldn't work on Windows 10?
I always think it's a bad idea to remove older product support from newer drivers. For example, there is a reasonable chance that a computer running a sereis 5 or 6 series chipset will be upgraded to Windows 10. Then you're caught between a rock and a hard place.
Then you get into the situation that the newest driver supporting the chipset doesn't work in the new operating system, and the driver that works in the operating system doesn't support the chipset, which will get you stranded at the operating system that still can use the latest driver that supports the chipset.
In the case of hard disk drivers it's often not a problem, because the MS generic AHCI-driver works just fine. Even their generic chipset drivers often work fine; maybe they're a bit slower, or miss some special functionality, but they do work.
It's nasty if such important drivers get problems after an update of either the driver or the operating system. This hard disk problem is not some sort of isolated incident; the MS community, Reddit, and other prominent Windows forums are flooded with complaints.
