Dell Latitude E6530 Power On Boot Twice
This is information about having to power on the E6530 twice before it will boot. The first power up starts the Dell Logon and then looks like it will boot, the storage light flickers and goes out and the screen stays blank. The 2nd power up starts the Dell Logo and then the Windows 10 Professional software finally boots up. As a Microsoft Refurbisher gifting these laptops to high school students who can't afford them, these Dell Latitude's have all been refurbished with Microsoft Windows 10 Professional. The Latitudes are all running Bios A22 from January 2019. This problem started with the A22 Bios updates. I have found a work around solution. On the Latitude E6530 the Power Settings had the "Fast Boot" box checked. By unchecking the "Fast Boot" box, it now appears that either from a restart or a cold startup the power on sequence only needs the 1st power on to get to the Windows 10 logon screen. Your feedback would be appreciated if you have had this problem.

I think you found the answer. I have seen Windows Moderators say to uncheck Fast Boot to correct boot problems. I've seen it here and in the Windows forum at the Microsoft website.
