In my experience, persistent usb systems are painfully slow depending on the combination of components. Is your usb drive fast enough (usb 2? 3?)? Is your usb port fast enough? Habe you tried different port on the computer? Booting from usb will most likely require the system to be loaded into memory, do you have enough for what you are trying to achieve?

Disabling it at bios level does not suit your case?

It would be General Failure reading the disc. I would fsck him up, and replace disc if necessary.

Yes, I know those may be different oses, but I was thinking multiplatform

Have you setup your home screen? You can do that on the dashboard, hiding, grouping, etc.

If what you’ve watched has nearly ended, it won’t show for continuing. I have the opposite issue, some shows has a long outro/preview of the next episode, so I have to either mark it as seen, or fast forward near the end for it not to show on the continuing watching section

That is why I also mentioned the latch/sensor, it may got stuck.

It sounds like the issue is with the lid latch/sensor, not with the graphics. Some laptops may not boot if the lid is closed, and some have options on the firmware to enable to boot when the lid is closed / on a docking station.
