Whenever I boot my pc , just right after the motherboard logo splash screen it shows blinking underscore which blinks twice then moves to the next line does the same there then after that windows logo shows up loading which stops midway and flashes a black screen then starts again and loads to the lock screen/sign in page.

What's with the underscores blinking?

It's just prepping the next command in the pre-windows environment.

If you were using PC's over 10 years ago, you'd have a lot more going on in between the UEFI/BIOS and the Windows loading screen, there used to be a WHOLE LOT more.
