About this tag
The functional os tag covers discussions where Windows remains operational despite display issues. In one thread, a user reports a black desktop and taskbar after restart or wake, yet the OS is fully functional—icons can be opened by double-clicking guessed locations.

It helps users find solutions for problems that affect appearance but not underlying system operation.
