About this tag
Discussions tagged with 'log out screen' on WindowsForum.com cover issues where Windows fails to boot fully and instead hangs on a log out screen. In one example, a Windows 7 Home 64-bit system displays only the theme background after shutdown, with no icons or desktop. Users report that pressing F8 during wake from sleep can bring up a log out screen showing the logged-in user, and clicking the user name then completes the boot. This workaround is inconsistent, and the problem recurs on subsequent reboots. Troubleshooting steps mentioned include safe mode booting and using msconfig in diagnostic startup mode. The tag focuses on boot failures that manifest as a stuck log out screen rather than a normal login prompt.
