    I set it to Boot Drive only. After doing so and exiting the BIOS it decided it wanted to do a disk check and appeared to repair C:

    No longer does the Windows logo appear during boot and last bios time was 6.1 sec

    So I will have to check whether disabling the detection of other drives during post or the disk check resulted in this.

    Screen still seems a little flickery during boot. I should check if the Windows spotlight lockscreen feature is working because it hasn't been in a while.

    Repair MBR?

    When you've got past other matters:
    Spotlight- once broken can be very tricky to persuade to work again.
    You can try
    Reset and Re-register Windows Spotlight in Windows 10 Windows 10 Customization Tutorials

    Others have reported issues where there are invalid image references.
    Images are here:
    How to Find Windows Spotlight Lock Screen Images

    You can also find it takes a day or two for Windows to catch up - suddenly it starts working again.

    You may find you end up with Spotlight working but the Preview in Settings is grey.

    Thanks Dalchina. I will check that out.

    Also the screen flickers the lockscreen image, like one quick flicker. Is the flicker possibly linked to the lockscreen issue also?

    I really can't say. Maybe you have a graphics problem, maybe it's trying to display an invalid image... I can only guess...

    Yeah possibly, maybe I should install some later Nvidia drivers to see if that fixes anything. Not sure about an invalid image, it uses one of the Windows spotlight images but flickers it. I'll try fixing Windows spotlight when I get a chance.
