Yes, but I tried using the USB Drive last night and didn’t have the non-UEFI option. That’s the part that stumps me. Not that I am complaining! :)

Well it’s broken again but in a new way this time. I get a black screen with a flashing underscore in the top left on boot, and if I go into the BIOS and try to boot from the recovery media the same thing happens. I can’t even get into the recovery menu anymore. In booting from the USB I will eventually get the Windows logo on the screen for a split second and then after another few minutes the screen goes black.

Okay, so I fixed it a second time. I had to turn off UEFI in the motherboard and set boot to “legacy only” because it kept reading the USB drive as UEFI. How do I make sure that doesn’t happen again

Okay, I’ve isolated the problem now, and it’s a weird one. For some reason, the computer believes that my new USB Audio Interface (Audient iD4 mkii) is a boot drive. When I have this plugged in and try to boot the computer up, the computer gives me a black screen with a flashing underscore for a few minutes before it tells me that there is data missing from the boot media. When I unplug the interface, the computer fires right up.
In the BIOS, the only drive in the boot order is the SSD, as far as I can tell. So… ???
