I used my desktop PC for the first time in a while yesterday, possibly the first time since doing the 25H2 update (but don't quote me on that), and noticed that the Windows 11 startup screen can't be dismissed. Previously, it's started by showing a screen the current time, which is still the case. Then I press a key, and it animates off, and there's the login prompt. But now? The animation never completes. It starts - and then snaps back to its initial state.
Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del gets the login box, so I'm not completely stuck. and I'm sure that was probably always the case. But I'm still a bit bemused by this.
(Microsoft epithets have generally aged poorly, and I expect this one will be no exception, no matter how accurate it may currently actually be. See also: stuff like "Mickey$loth WinDOS")
