Hi. I can't imagine it's a 'Fast Boot' issue - a normal bootup is fine, it's just when restarting after a prompt from a new program or update that the 'BIOS splash' stays longer. But I'll check the BIOS setting for such a feature.
The rest of the BIOS seems fine - I've selected 'normal' performance. Most other things seem to be 'enabled'.
Many thanks for all your time.
I finally found this section of the BIOS. Here's what's onscreen:
Launch CSM - Enabled
Boot Device Control - UEFI and Legacy OPROM
Boot from storage devices - Legacy OPROM First*
*the alternatives are 'UEFI First' or 'Ignore'.
Should I be happy with these settings? I'd expect so as everything's been working fine.
This looks correct, too. I avoid UEFI due to all the problems we see here but you may have had and Updates reboot issue that sorted itself.
