I recently installed Clonezilla on my SSD to clone my old SATA SSD to a new one. However, when I boot my PC, it disables the keyboard for 30 seconds, which leads to automatically selecting the first option. Does anyone have suggestions for commands or steps I can take to return to my normal startup process?

Just a heads up, be careful about where you install Clonezilla. Some software can overwrite your system's boot partition if you're not careful. Glad you figured out the installation issue.
Another quick fix would be to change the boot drive order directly in the BIOS. That could help you get to your operating system without Clonezilla interfering.
It’s usually better to put Clonezilla on a USB stick instead of installing it on a drive. If you can, check your BIOS settings to see if you can change the boot order to boot from your Windows drive instead.
You might want to try unplugging the SSD that has Clonezilla on it. That could help you bypass the boot issue.
I did that but plugged the Ultra M.2 SSD back in, and now I’m getting a 'Minimal BASH' error.
I realize now that I installed it on my Ultra M.2, but thankfully my problem seems solved!
