W11 startup bug, I'm getting a blank page

Hello,

Following the installation of Windows 11 24H2, I have a blank screen for several seconds at each startup. Apparently, it's a bug with the Windows welcome screen after the update.

I have tried various methods to resolve this issue:

- Disabling notifications in additional settings (welcome experience...)

- Chkdsk

- sfc /scannow

- Resetting the PC while keeping software and files

Do you have any other solution to test?

    Hello,

    I have faced this blank page twice.

    It reminds me of the welcome experience after a Windows Update.

    1/ First time:

    Wait for the upcoming update.

    Source

    2/ Second time

    Repair your account (profiles) with ==► Account Profile Fixer

    The procedure is relatively quick, but afterwards you will need to reinstall some personal applications.

    Account repaired:

    During the second restart, you will need to configure the welcome experience:

    (Accept or decline).

      Thank you for the information.

      I would have liked to try the account repair, but I have a lot of software used for work.

      Do I have to reinstall everything afterwards?

    The principle of account repair is similar to a Windows reset.

    As in your statement:

    Resetting the PC while keeping software and files

    Some non-Microsoft software or applications will be removed:

    And we can find out which software or applications will be uninstalled.

    Account Repair:  Account Profile Fixer

    Some applications will be uninstalled, but it's minimal (not many).

    During setup, you will be asked to log in with your Microsoft account and your password or your PIN (which may cause that white page/rectangle after an update, because Windows Hello is poorly configured, as well as the user account settings).

    It's best to have all your Microsoft account data on hand (username, password, and PIN, which is also Windows Hello).

    Later on, it will be possible to switch to a local account based on your preferences.

    My advice would be to stick with a Microsoft account.

    And enable backup for Account Settings.

    OneDrive as well, which is not my case, I do not use it to save disk space.

      Thank you, your last method was effective.

      The taskbar appears a bit slower than with 23H2. I will now analyze the startup applications.

        Hello,

        I don't see any difference compared to 23H2.

        The difference, if there is one, and of course if the startup software is the same, might be the online content (Widgets, Cortana, and the like) that I have censored in both cases.

        For the taskbar that takes a little while to display, this happens on PCs that are not compatible with Windows 11, installed as a workaround.

        One of my incompatible PCs has this display lag for the taskbar, I attribute this to the completely incompatible processor, and yet version 24h2 runs very well, it's smooth.

        Of course, there are other possible causes.

        For example, the Windows Store that automatically updates (at startup, that's what I think).
