Need help with my WD Black 2TB HDD W/ Asus Z170 Pro Gaming MB

Hi folks,

             I've a problem with my WD Black 2TB  with my Asus Z170 Pro Gaming MB, whenever I give restart, HDD doesn't get's recognized and also it's not showing up in Boot device in my Bios dues to some reason and it'll show up once I shutdown the PC. I've this problem from the day one, a few months my dad installed new W10 Pro without knowing he updated all the drivers, and the restart function in Windows was working as it supposed to be. few days I reinstalled OS to W10 Pro, and the restart problem comes back, it just annoying. I've never used this HDD to check with anyother system whether the other PC suffers the same fate. Things which I've done updated bios, updated all the mb drivers, have used different sata 6g cables and in different ports. I'll attach screenshots which shows you how the bios looks after hitting restart and shutting down pc. Pls help this problem is just annoying to deal with. Ty in advance.

Thanks and regards,
Yash

Have you tried turning off "fast boot", have you tried turning off intel rapid storage technology?

On a sidenote your avatar just gave me nightmares.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

Uninstalling Intel Rapid Store, lemme check in BIOS about Fast Boot, I guess it's turned lemme double check.
