I think the most likely reason for the pause is that the bios is trying to report a hardware problem. To test if that's the case, temporarily disable 'Adapter Warnings' in the bios 'Advance' page.
If with warnings turned off you no longer see a pause, then that confirms it. Unfortunately it also suggests you have a hardware fault that needs fixing![]()
Hi,
As said in first post. I restored the registry changes made by WiseCare365, but still the issue persists. I went to the last good restore point successfully, still the issue persists.!!!
I can boot into win10 and work normally. However, the only thing is when i press power button in laptop, I also have to press any key when DELL logo shows to continue the boot process(Very annoying!!!).

Hi,
Did as you said. but still have to press a key a key to boot. (fortunately, No hardware issue!!)
Go into the BIOS setup and make sure the solid state drive is above the other one in the boot order. Be sure to save any changes. Also, make sure there isn't a non-bootable USB stick or DVD in the computer.

You might have a hardware problem to fix. Run the Dell diagnostics which requires pressing the F12 key on my laptop - else you can run the diagnostics from Dell's site.
Boot problems can sometimes be fixed by booting to a Macrium Reflect USMB repair disk and selecting the option Fix Windows Boot problems. It's best not to fiddle with registry entries and to have a full system backup to recover from

2) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
chkdsk /r /v
This may take hours to run so plan to run overnight.
Run on all drives using the syntax: chkdsk /r /v C: or chkdsk /r /v D: changing the drive letter to the applicable drive.
C:\Windows\system32>chkdsk /r /v
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
