Windows 11 system startup not recognizing the raid drives "Icy Dock MB901SPR-B" drives, but after a warm boot restart the drives are recognized.

I recently update my system to windows 11 64 bit pro. When I cold boot to startup my Windows 11 system my system is not recognizing the raid drives "Icy Dock MB901SPR-B",then I preform a warm windows 11 boot restart and the drives are recognized. My Icy Dock is connected my new ASUS motherboard with a intel 14th gen i7700 processor. Is there a setting in my Bios that needs adjusting?

Does your system have a Fast boot option? Make sure you disable that Fast Boot in BIOS may prevent proper initialization of the RAID drives during a cold boot.
Steps:

• Enter BIOS (Press Del or F2 at startup).
• Navigate to Boot settings.
• Locate Fast Boot and disable it.
• Save & Exit (F10).

Another possibility is that the port that your ICYDOCK is connected has to enable hot plug function on that port.

• Steps:
• Enter BIOS.
• Find SATA Configuration.
• Enable Hot Plug for the port where the Icy Dock is connected.

Worth separating two different “fast” settings here. The admin’s BIOS Fast Boot tip is relevant, but Windows Fast Startup can also cause cold-boot device initialization quirks: a normal shutdown hibernates part of the session, while a restart fully reinitializes hardware. If disabling BIOS Fast Boot alone does not fix it, turn off Windows Fast Startup via Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Change settings that are currently unavailable, then untick Fast Startup and test a full shutdown/cold boot.
