Hi everyone. So this has gone on for some time but i dont notice it much as I only restart my computer once every 2 weeks or so (bad i know.)

When i turn the computer on everything goes fine. Windows boots and goes to the login screen. I log in and then instead of going to my background picture and windows i get a blank white screen.

No text or border or anything jsut a white screen and my mouse cursor which i can move. It will stay like that until i hit cntrl alt del which brings up the menu for task manager and such. choosing to open task manager will bring it up and then a few seconds later the white screen goes away and my desktop appears with all my icons and everythign runs just fine after that. I havent left it like that to see how long it goes on just about 10 minutes or so. Reading up on it i thought it was that fake fbi hijack scam. It is not as far as i can tell. The computer does not lock up or restart. Not a serious issue as far as i can tell but i would like to know why it is doign that and take care of it. Any help is appreciated thanks.

I had a problem like that few years ago, I think it was WinXP.

Check out if the problem arises at Safe Mode.

By the way, did you notice when it started -- you might have installed some new software or smth like that.

 

Heavy artillery solution is to reinstall your OS, especially if it has been running for couple years or more.
