Windows 10: Startup not normal

Hi,
Just installed new version of Win 10 Pro. Often -but not always- from a cold restart get a pretty picture and only 3 icons
in bottom right of screen : 1) Connect to Internet , 2) Ease of Access and 3) Shutdown.
Rebooting brings system back to normal.
Can't seem to find any reference to this problem.
Anybody help?
thank you

Hi,

Thanks for replying to us with the status of your issue.

We regret for the inconvenience caused and we appreciate your for trying the troubleshooting steps.

As the issue still persists, so it might be due to any third party application conflict on the start up of the system.

I suggest you to try the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: Run maintenance task.

The Run maintenance task checks issues that might slow down your computer's performance or using high memory space, such as how many users are currently logged on to the computer and whether multiple programs are running at the
same time.

Follow the below steps.

• 
  Press Windows + X on the keyboard.
  
• 
  Select Control Panel.
  
• 
  Select Troubleshooting.
  
• 
  Click on Run maintenance task under
  System and Security.
  

Method 2: Clean boot.

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program.

Note: Steps mentioned for Windows 8/8.1, will work fine with Windows 10.

Disclaimer: Please go through the section: How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot of the Kb article to boot the computer in normal startup after fixing the issue.



Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

Hi, what do you see if you don't see the default lock screen?

What you should see by default is:
a. From a cold boot you will get the default lock screen, which will be a picture. Clicking on that will reveal your logon screen.
b. The lock screen subsequently shown after e.g.
- resuming from sleep
- switching users
- Windows key + L (lock)
is dependent on what is shown in Settings, and by default is I think 'Spotlight'. That's a picture which is updated at intervals with a 'Like what you see' prompt.

It is possible to disable the lock screen entirely one way or another, and to make the lock screen picture the same as the login picture. However some find the Spotlight function fails in various ways without a simple reliable way to restore it.
For interest: some Tutorials about the lock screen (there are more):

and Winaero's tweaker(free) has some relevant options.

 

Thank you , I'll try your suggestions and let you know if it works.
