Running Windows 8.1 on a self-built system. Just a few days ago I noticed a black screen right after the Windows logo but before the welcome screen. It appears for about 5 to 12 seconds. I've tried disabling automatic driver updates, reinstalled Nvidia drivers (including GTX 770), and kept startup minimal with only Avast and Malwarebytes. It seems none of these are triggering the issue. I also ran a diagnostic bootup that only shows core services. Still no clear cause. Any suggestions or fixes? I've updated the drivers from Nvidia's site.

The black screen could indicate a temporary system issue or software glitch. It might happen after the Windows logo because of a malfunction, background process, or hardware problem. This usually signals that something needs attention to restore normal operation.

Absolutely, it's not risky, but it can be bothersome.

I see, the Windows circular boot display appears, followed by a 10-second pause before logging in.

It seems you're asking about the cause of something, but the context isn't clear. Could you provide more details or clarify what you're referring to?

It seems like you're frustrated about the loading process. That's understandable!

Are you using VGA? It’s being phased out, so it won’t work properly. This causes delays in showing images, just like with the UAC prompt. The screen turns black for a few seconds before returning with the UAC dialog.

Hi! Glad you reached out. You're using an HDMI cable and haven't used VGA recently, so it's possible a service or background process is interfering. Since your startup programs are minimal, it might be related to system updates or background apps. Check if any new software has been installed recently or if there are pending updates that could affect startup behavior.
