Hey everyone, I've been having a frustrating issue with my PC recently. For some reason, it's been taking forever to boot up – like sitting on the Republic of Gamers logo for over 5 minutes before finally getting into Windows or even the BIOS. I've tried updating the BIOS and used the built-in Windows 11 repair tool, but the problem persists. My settings for Secure Boot are set to Other OS like before, and Fast Boot is enabled. All other BIOS settings are default or auto. My setup is an Asus X470-F with a Ryzen 7 3700x, 16 GB 2300 MHz DDR4 RAM, and an RTX 2070. This sudden change is really puzzling me, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!

It sounds like one of your storage drives might be failing. It could be your boot drive or perhaps another one. That kind of delay often points to hardware issues.
Yeah, I checked with chkdsk and ran an SFC /scannow in the command prompt, and everything seems fine on that end.
