I added an ssd and put the os on it and since then I never needed to restart the pc (just shutdown), but after some updates it restarted to finish the update and it got stuck on the asus logo(no loading circle). I waited 30-40min and eventually pressed on/off button(not holding it) and it instantly closed. After 5 min I started it again and it was all normal. Now, whenever I restart my pc it does this and i need to force shut it and open it again. I removed the other booting options(i have a backup of the os on the hard disk) and it still does the same thing.

"I remember I once started a scan and I had to stop it at about 68% and I used a command through another cmd that safely stoped it. " Why did you stop it? Further the boot menu is not related to the boot order. It simply lists the possible boot options for a one time boot that bypasses the boot order in the BIOS.

First, how did you how did you put Windows 10 on the ssd. Also it is not enough that you remove a drive as a boot option in the bios, you need to unplug it, if it has an OS on it.

I would like to see what happens if you disable fast start up. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html as a restart disables fast startup, so you can see if that is involved.
It sounds like you might've removed some of the booting files from the HDD, since Windows 10 wants to put that on a separate drive (i.e. the HDD) from the one installing to (the SSD). Try installing EasyBCD and make sure the setting to boot from the SSD is set up like you want it.

If the above doesn't fix it, open an administrative command prompt and issue these two commands:
SFC /Scannow
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

I did another restart now and pressed esc to open the boot menu(not the bios menu) and it has 2 boot options, the first being p3: hgst ...(the hdd) and the second one p1:ssd... . But the boot option priority in bios is only p1.
Btw I dont know how to use easybcd and I will try the cmd scan first. I remember I once started a scan and I had to stop it at about 68% and I used a command through another cmd that safely stoped it.
