Is this normal after Creator's Update?

Go to solution Solved by zMeul,

the only wrong thing I see is the grime and slime on the monitor - clean that shit up

After updating to the CU a few weeks ago, I have been having this strange boot screen. After the PC has finished booting (circles moving around) there will be an identical circle loading screen that will appear for 1 - 2 seconds and then it will boot into Windows. This never happened before the CU, is it normal?

It happened to me too on my old rig. No idea if it's still going on now since I don't really shut down my PC (sleep states ftw) and booting from an SSD is pretty freakin fast

You're right, that's definitely the issue.

No, but seriously, it has been done now, a a few weeks ago actually. This video was from when I initially updated. I didn't know how to clean monitor screens before and I recently found out you should only use microfibre cloths with water. A lot of that "grime" is from using anti-bac wipes on the screen, lol.

Yeah, this was booting from my SSD too, I know it's kinda slow though.

Seems like it may be finishing something and then decides to start up something else. Go into the Disk Cleanup utility and delete the pervious Windows versions. I guess that could help...

Yeah, all previous Windows version are deleted, there's not really anything else going on. 

 

Since the guy above said he had the same thing happen to him, I'm guessing the CU just messed something up or it's just a bug.

I think it's a GPU driver thing. When it Boots, it's going to use the iGPU. It may be switching not so smoothly to your dedicated when Windows is loading, or something... I'd double check to make sure you're drivers are installed from ASUS for your chipset and GPUs.

Yes, I downloaded all the correct drivers when I did a fresh install a couple of weeks ago. iGPU also isn't even enabled in the BIOS, does it still use it on boot though?

 

Another thing I have noticed is that this only happens if fast startup is on in the power settings, if I switch it off it loads normally.

If you're using your dedicated GPU, your fine. Drivers don't load until OS loads. Your screen is flashing because the GPU is disabling output as the driver comes on. Then it turns output back on. It's not a different screen, it's the same one. Your GPU just blinked.

 

Fast boot on designed to increase your boot speed by decreasing the amount of system tests on boot.

Not fast boot in BIOS, fast startup in the Windows power options. If it is turned off, there's is no load screen "blink".

I wouldn't do a Windows fast startup. BIOS, sure. Essentially hardware optimization for time. Wouldn't mess around with software stuff like that.

Windows fast startup is enabled by default, I meant disabling it stops the issue of the loading screen repeating itself but leads to a slower boot time.
