Andrew02467 said:with PowerSpec screen. If I disconnect my external drive and use the power switch at back, I can get it to boot then reconnect my drive. I have read that disabling Fast Bootup in Windows 10 is a fix for that..haven't been able to get time for a reboot yet. Anyone have experience with this?
Have you tested the external drive in other systems to see if they boot fine? -
The external drive in question is about 3 months old, worked fine in the other computer, and is a WD SSD drive that only has data on it. The PowerSpec PC does boot fine without the drive connected. Thus I wondered about the Fast Bootup setting, or, as I read more, possibly needing to adjust the Secure Boot UEFI setting.

You're on the right track. Unless there's a hidden boot sector on this drive to cause it, the solution will be a BIOS setting. Fast boot is possible. Also toggle USB legacy support off. You might also test with CSM enabled under "Boot" as well.
