Question [Solved] GIGABYTE G5 KD laptop sometimes sits on a black screen for a minute during startup

[Kokoron]

When I turn on my laptop, sometimes this will happen: the GIGABYTE logo shows, the screen turns black for at least a minute, the GIGABYTE logo shows again, and then the laptop starts up as normal. I thought this issue was caused by updating my NVIDIA drivers, but the issue still happens after I reinstalled the drivers that came with the laptop.

Does anyone know what could be causing the issue?

Laptop specs:

i5 11400H
RTX 3060
16GB RAM
512GB NVME SSD
Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA SSD

The laptop did not come with the Crucial SSD, but the issue was present before I added the second SSD, so that rules out the SSD being the potential cause.

Have you made any change in Bios?

No, I've never touched the bios. But I think I figured out what was causing the problem. It was the "Fast startup" option in the control panel. I disabled it a few hours after I made this thread and haven't experienced the problem since then.
