When your computer boots directly to the login screen without showing the usual boot screen, it can indicate several issues with the boot sequence. Here are some possible reasons and solutions for this problem: 1. Fast Startup Feature: Windows 10 has a "Fast Startup" feature that may be causing this behavior. - Disable Fast Startup: - Go to Control Panel -> Power Options -> Choose what the power buttons do. - Click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable." - Uncheck the box next to "Turn on fast startup." - Save changes and restart the computer to see if the issue is resolved. 2. Corrupt Boot Configuration Data (BCD): - You can try rebuilding the BCD by using the Windows Recovery Environment. - Boot from a Windows installation media, select "Repair your computer," and choose Command Prompt. - Enter the following commands:

 bootrec /scanos bootrec /rebuildbcd

- Restart your computer after the process completes. 3. Graphics Driver Issues: - Outdated or corrupt graphics drivers can also cause boot screen issues. - Update your graphics drivers to the latest version from the manufacturer's website. 4. System File Corruption: - Run the System File Checker tool to scan and repair corrupted system files. - Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following command:

 sfc /scannow

5. BIOS Settings: - Check if there are any unusual settings in the BIOS that might be causing this behavior. - Resetting BIOS settings to default can sometimes resolve boot issues. 6. Windows Update: - Sometimes, a recent Windows update may have caused the issue. - Uninstall recent updates or perform a system restore to a point before the issue started. 7. Hardware Issues: - Faulty hardware components like the hard drive or RAM can also lead to boot problems. - Ensure that your hardware is functioning properly by running diagnostics. Try these steps to troubleshoot the issue and see if it resolves the problem of booting straight to the login screen without showing the boot screen.
