Thanks. I have two drives, one 512GB (WD) and the other 1TB (Samsung 970). They show up as OK in WMIC. I couldn't get Samsung Magician to provide any info about the Samsung Drive at all other than it was there, and the WD SSD tool showed the drive as OK but with ludicrously slow read/write times. CrystalDiskInfo didn't recognize the existence of either drive (and it also took about 15 minutes to load).

But today CrystalDiskInfo ran fine and identify the drives as 95% (WD) and 100% (Samsung). And OOTP opened as usual without any delay. This is without a restart let alone a shutdown.

No clue what is going on honestly. It could be an issue with heat, although the laptop is setting on a stand with fans. Or possibly a virus that Bitdefender doesn't recognize. Or some other intermittent hardware issue. In any event, it doesn't appear to be OOTP specific.
