When I turn on my PC it always asked me to press f9 then select volume 13. I believe the system thinks my main operating drive is not connected anymore. This happened even though I haven’t used anything other than the NVMe drive in slot one for my OS. When I pick volume 13 it boots normally without any problems. I’d like to be able to log in without having to press so many keys.

Ensure the boot drive matches the correct position in the BIOS setup.

Open "msconfig" in Windows. In the boot section, the listed partitions will show your active boot options. The partition marked "Current OS/Default OS" is the one currently loading Windows; any others present can be deleted to ensure only the correct boot device is selected. This helps eliminate misleading or inactive partitions and ensures the system boots from the intended partition. Occasionally, this adjustment is needed if Windows installation isn't set up correctly or if a previous OS was left on the drive. The sole partition listed should appear unless you're deliberately using dual boot functionality.

Thank you! It really does save me ten seconds each time it starts.
