Login Screen Crashing to Desktop with no dissolve effect?
Sorry if the thread title sounds a bit vague, I couldn't think of anything better!
This is only a cosmetic problem, but it is puzzling me.
For all the years I've been using Windows 10, when I booted up, after the login screen, it would do a quite elegant dissolve effect to the desktop, which was almost completely populated, except for some of the system tray icons, which would then load.
Now what's happening is that after the login screen, the screen goes completely black for several seconds, and then the desktop sort of crashes in, often with some of its desktop and taskbar icons missing, which then appear, along with the system tray icons.
It used to do this on my underpowered netbook sometimes, but it's now doing it on my desktop too, and it's doing it every time.
I'm sure this started with the last set of Patch Tuesday updates.
Is anyone else seeing this behaviour, and is there any fix?
Thanks, Dave.
