Current problems with booting:
My computer has been setup to ask for a bios/motherboard password before starting Manjaro (this has nothing to do with the OS). After this point I get messages about how many files are cleaned and restored and then Manjaro starts normally. However in the past month (Feb2023 to now) or so Manjaro loops at this stage and doesn’t always start normally as it should - it’s not rebooting the computer as it’s not asking for my bios password. Only when I see the mouse cursor appear does the system start normally, otherwise a hard reset needs to be performed (as ctrl+alt+Del does not work). Sometimes the issue is solved (or disappears) when selecting the hard disk in BIOS, which leads me to think it’s a hardware issue but these are 2 new (August 2022) Kingston SSDs. The issue occurs almost every morning, ie after the computer is off for several hours or even just a few hours but doesn’t happen if I restart the computer when applying changes or updates.
