Have to start twice to get Laptop to Boot

[NOD]

ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA 506IU
AMD Ryzen 7 4800H
Ram 16.0GB
Windows 11 Home Ver 24H2
OS Build 26100.2454

Problem: On start up will show ASUS Logo and rotating circle -THEN STOP.
I hold down the power button - to shut down & then repower up - usually it will fully bootup the second time, with no apparent problems. If I now "shut down", and power up, it will start without any problem.
This has been doing this for a couple on months.
Any suggestions please, on how to resolve this.
Thanks Nod

1. Turn off Fast Startup (Best Step):
   • Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do.
   • Click Change settings that are currently unavailable, then uncheck Turn on fast startup. Save and restart.
2. Update BIOS and Drivers:
   • Check for BIOS and driver updates on the ASUS support website for your model.
3. Run a Disk Check:
   • Open Command Prompt as Admin, type chkdsk /f /r, and restart when asked.
4. Run System File Check:
   • In Command Prompt (Admin), type sfc /scannow to fix corrupted files.
5. Clean Boot:
   • Type msconfig in the search bar, disable non-Microsoft services and startup programs, then restart.

Start with turning off Fast Startup—it's the most likely fix!
