I'm trying to configure the system to automatically start at the same time daily. After adjusting the hibernation settings in Windows, it began functioning properly. However, during the boot process after the motherboard logo appears, it displays a black screen with a blinking underscore at the top left and halts before that point. So far, this behavior occurs only when using RTC for booting, and pressing the power button manually doesn't cause problems. I have an ASUS motherboard running Windows 10. If you need any further details, please let me know.

I believe I've found the answer. I turned off all boot settings in the BIOS except for the main hard drive, and after a trial run the computer started booting into Windows at its scheduled time.
Remains uncertain why other drives were still causing the system to freeze, as it should have tried the main drive first regardless, but at least it seems to be functioning now.
If anyone has additional insights on what originally led to the problem, I'd appreciate hearing them—I could be useful for others facing similar issues.
