After the last M$ update I have lost the 'spinning wheel' that used to show before username entry. Curious as to why, although it is not so far a problem, but it did give me an indication of 'boot' in progress. Now a blank screen then the username entry panel appears.
Gargle directs me to a 'Windows animation' setting checkbox (which has remained checked) so it isn't that. Any ideas?

Last time W10 did something like that to me, I switched to Linux for everything, except one computer still running W7.
I have had no system troubles since.

Already have Linux - it is Windows I am asking about!

Stand down Dad's Army! Problem inexplicably solved. I decided to access BIOS on boot (<DELETE>), had a shufti and could see nothing adrift, selected 'SAVE and EXIT' and boot is now back to normal with my spinning thingummy.

Oh oh! Next boot, same as before. No whizzy.
EDIT: 'Fast Start' was turned off?? (Now on and we will see next boot.)
