About this tag
The splash screen tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about startup and loading screens in Windows and software applications. Common issues include Windows Sandbox getting stuck on its splash screen after updates, screen capture programs like Mirillis Action! hanging at their splash screen, and Windows 10 apps failing to launch or hanging on the app's splash screen. Users also report black screens between the Windows splash screen and the sign-on page during startup and shutdown. Additionally, the tag includes topics about captive portal splash screens for guest WiFi networks, where users are prompted to log in via Facebook or Google, and language settings causing splash screens to display in the wrong language after a system update.

    Windows sandbox stuck on splash screen (LATEST UPDATE)

    I've been running Sandbox ever since I built my PC, so I know it's compatible. However, with the latest update, it always gets stuck on the new splash screen and won’t proceed any further. I’ve tried reinstalling it, but it’s still stuck on the splash screen without any error codes or messages.

    Windows 7 Intermittent freezing at "Windows is Starting" splash

    My wife's 32 Bit Win 7 PC is intermittently freezing at the "windows is starting" splash screen. Normally I reset/reboot and it boots fine on the next attempt. Lately it has been taking more attempts in order to get it to boot properly. Any idea what might be causing this intermittent issue?
