AppSync: AppSync Plugin causes Windows devices to not come online

Note: The symptoms are unrelated to AppSync, and Microsoft should be engaged for definitive information.

However following a reboot, Windows non-clustered devices were not coming online if originally brought online using Powershell script.

The following was observed:

Using Disk Manager to online devices, Partmgr Attribute field was found to be "0".
However when Powershell is used, Partmgr Attribute field was found to be "3"

Note: partmgr can be found here in the registry: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\SCSI\<device>\<instance>\Device Parameters\Partmgr
Field named Attribute of type REG_DWORD

The above provides what was observed as symptoms for this non-AppSync issue that coincidentally occurred following the install of the AppSync plugin.

Engage Microsoft for the official cause, however Windows is considered to be working as designed.

Engage Microsoft for a definitive resolution.

However using Disk Manager to online devices resolved this issue.
