Once a week, the system does a 5 seconds or so Boot Defrag. No big deal but .............
One of the items shown is C:/EFI/Microsoft/Boot ...... defragged , system will now restart and it doesn't.
Reboot does it though.
I had a look for that folder in file explorer showing hidden files and it does not show.
What exactly is it - ideas?
Your computer is probably set to Safe Boot in the Bios, which will not let you boot from a non-UEFI device or file to keep viruses from taking over.
Boot into Setup (Bios) go to the Security tab and look for SafeBoot, Disable it or change it to Setup Mode. You may also need to change UEFI Bios toLegacy Boot to do a one time Boot Defrag.
cheers ace, will check it out.
Went into Bios which tells me its an ASUS UEFI Boot went into security but all that is in there is admin passwords. Had a look around and through ther boot tab, but nothing to say safe mode or otherwise so did not tweak anything. All very posh and full of info, nothing of any good to me as I dont understand a word !!!!
Are you sure it was C:EFI ? that would indicate you have an MBR Disk I believe or a non UEFI install of Win10. eg if you upgraded from Win7.Once a week, the system does a 5 seconds or so Boot Defrag. No big deal but .............

Normally there is an EFI Partition on a GPT Disk setup under UEFI
I have never seen my system do the scheduled Optimise or Defrag , infact I am not sure it even does it though it is scheduled for it weekly...
You could install Minitool Partition Wizard 9 ( MTPW) which is free and have a look at the Partitions etc that you do have and post s pic with Windows Snipping Tool if you have questions about it. If you RC a folder or Partition in MTPW you can "explore" and see what's in them even if Windows won't show you.

Solid State Hybrid Technology: HDD SSD SSHD | Seagate
Oh ok a SSHD that I do know about , but it should not effect your Boot as the SSD part is only used as Cache for the HDD , similar to how I accelerate my RAID array on my other system with an old 60GB SSD , the system does not see the SSD there either.
