Windows 11 guest not detecting a WD SN570 NVMe

I am trying to install Windows 11 on a passed-through WD SN570 NVMe SSD in a Qemu/KVM VM, however Windows 11 does not show the drive in the installer. When checking the device using pnputil /enum-devices /problem, I see that the NVMe controller is detected, but has an error code 10, CM_PROB_FAILED_START.

Details:

Fedora 44 host

PCI passthrough is done using libvirt hooks, binding vfio-pci driver at boot does not work either

The NVMe is in its own IOMMU group

A Fedora 43 guest correctly detects the drive

A Windows 11 guest correctly detects a Samsung NVMe

Windows 11 detects the drive when installing on bare metal

SanDisk does not appear to provide any drivers, aside from an installer

Any help would be appreciated.
