Have you tried to do a chkdsk?
Open a command prompt, as an administrator (provided that your account is an administrator account), proceeding as follows:
1. In windows search box (the one in the lower left corner, on the taskbar, near the start menu icon), type cmd.
2. When "command prompt" shows, choose "run as administrator".
3. At the cmd prompt type:
Chkdsk [the problematic drive's letter followed by a colon] /f /r /x
The drive's letter followed by a colon is needed only if the problematic disk is not the system disk.
4. Press enter. It is possible that you'll get a message asking you if you want to check the drive the next time you restart the computer. Answer Yes, type...

For some reason I didn't see the post you made until I responded again about the running chkdsk. Hi GDany, My son built this PC for me about a year and a half ago. No it didn't have an m.2.ssd it had a regular mechanical hard drive. The HHD was then changed to the Crucial MX500 SSD. I did this using an Acronis back up image to put the image on the new SSD. Okay, I'll go into BIOS setup and try to 'Load Optimized Defaults' & Save and Exit menu.

The reason I didn't see that I had posted before was that I was on pag1 and things had moved on to page 2. Hi GDany, so I went into the BIOS and loaded Optimized Defaults and have saved and exited that. So, I just have to wait and see what transpires now. Thanks again GDany for you help.
