My slide overview and presentation is starting on slide 2? Used different views to try and find it, but it doesn't appear anywhere.

Hi @Jason Wozniak,
Based on your sharing, if the first actual slide in the deck shows as 2 in all views (Normal, Slide Sorter, Notes and Reading), I suspect the starting number settings of that presentation was changed to 2.
You can check this option in Design tab > Slide Size > Custom Slide Size > look for "Number slides from" and see if it's set to 2. If it is, change it to 1 and OK.
Hope my sharing would be helpful for your concern. If you have any questions or need any further clarification, please leave a comment here and I will be happy to continue to help you.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. I'm looking forward to your reply.

This was not the case. There are no hidden slides shown in Normal or Slide Sorter. No thumbnails of slide 1. Slide 1 is just gone completely, with numbering starting at 2 for the first slide in Normal, Outline, Slide Sorter, Notes page & Reading view.
