Thanks, I have tried that, but after booting into the OS, it flickers and then the screen goes blank any ideas on how to resolve the flickering? All drivers are up to date.

Buzz,
Are you following the recommended cloning procedure for desktop or laptop drives?
We don't know which you are performing? Regardless, are you disconnecting the source disk before attempting to start from the newly cloned disk?
When does the screen go blank? Do you see a log in prompt? Or does the OS just never load? Have you tried running a start up repair? We can only guess how to help until we fully understand the behavior you are seeing. The more information about the steps and problem you provide, the easier it might be for us to help.

I believe your issue to be specific to Windows 10 although I have no definite proof of it. I believe what you are seeing is corruption of Windows User Profile. You should try connecting your new target disk to the same data port as the original source disk is attached to then, attach the source disk to another available data port if possible. Then boot to the recovery media and clone from there making sure that you check the "shutdown machine after ......." box which should appear after you choose Proceed to start the clone process.
If you are cloning to an identical size or make/model disk make certain that you choose the right source and target disk from the selection menu otherwise you will brick your source disk.
After the clone process completes disconnect the original source disk from the PC before restarting the PC.
It is strongly advised that you make a full DISK backup of the disk being cloned so that you will have something to fall back on in case of failure. You should validate this backup during the backup process and once complete mount the backup in Windows File Explorer to make certain you have a working backup.
I also recommend that you connect your PC to a UPS if available as any power disruption during the clone will make bricks as well.
