I've been dealing with an annoying BIOS message that pops up only on cold boots (when my PC has been unplugged) for over a year now. The message says, "Please enter setup to recover BIOS after setting up Intel (R) Optane memory, or the RAID configuration was built. SATA mode selection must be changed to RAID mode to avoid unknown issues. Press F1 to run setup." Although my PC boots just fine after I press F1, it resets my XMP settings and is a hassle during startup. I've already replaced my SSD with a new NVMe and disconnected all the old SATA drives, but the problem persists. Here are my specs: Prime H510M-A motherboard, i3-10100f, GTX 1650, 16GB Teamgroup RAM, and NVMe 512GB SSD. I've tried replacing the CMOS battery, resetting it, updating the BIOS, and setting Secure Boot mode to Standard with Windows UEFI. Any advice?

It sounds like a pesky issue! Have you checked if your CMOS battery is dead? That could sometimes cause these kinds of problems.
Maybe it’s worth trying to reset the BIOS to defaults again if you haven't done it after the update. Sometimes settings can get messed up in the update process.
Yeah, I tried resetting it after updating, but it didn’t help.
This might sound odd, but could it be related to the BIOS battery? Sometimes people overlook that as a potential cause.
I actually replaced it just today with a fresh Energizer one, but it sadly didn't fix the issue. It's so weird since I don’t even have any SATA devices connected anymore after replacing the SSD.
