Every time I cold boot, I get the "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause." error. However, after pressing enter to restart, it boots up flawlessly. Normal restarts from Windows are also fine. It's also probably worth noting that on a cold boot, it sits there trying to detect the drive for around 30 seconds. On a regular restart, it detects the drive within 2 seconds. Anyone have any ideas?
 
Could be that the system is powering off too early.

You could check the SMART information for your SSD, and see if you can find "Unclean Shutdown count" or something alike in the output, and compare to the number of power cycles (Power Cycle Count). If most of your power cycles are unclean, then it could be windows is shutting down too early causing some writes not to finish and thus you wouldn't boot cleanly next time.

Just a guess though; could be something else too.
