Windows Boot Screens – What should I see? – How long should they last?
When I start my computer, I see the following screens in order:
1. A black screen with a big Dell logo on top and spinning white dots on the bottom
2. A plain black screen
3. A blue screen with spinning white dots and the words "please wait" underneath them
4. A lock screen for the Pin/Password
5. Finally, the desktop
Screens 2 and 3 vary in length of time. They last the longest in the days after a Windows update. Then they disappear more quickly. Is this behavior normal?
