If you google your exact question you’ll see many threads surrounding this topic. In 9/10 cases it’s due to conflicting boot devices and it’s windows 10 going through the list of devices to boot

 

Nothing to worry about!

A disk can have many partitions. These are set by the user though. So unless you partitioned your sSSD, you should not have any partitions.

 

 

and updating W10, what exactly do you mean?

It's normal for windows to create partitions on the disk when installing.

Installing windows will automatically create a few partitions. The EFI File system and a recovery partition. Then the main C partition. All normal Windows activiy that is don't by the system with no user intervention.

Yes, that is correct. Was more so referring to user created partitions
