when i boot up there's this annoying black screen between booting up ang logging in, it takes 3 sec or more to to before you can finally see the login scree, you could also hear the winodws 11 bootup sound while its in the black screen stat.
really hoping to remove it.
 
My speakers are rarely on before PC is so I don't hear it except on restart. Forgot it existed on 11. I wonder if it delays my start...

Have you tried turning the sound off?
  1. right click desktop
  2. click personalisation
  3. themes
  4. click the sounds header next to desktop image
  5. in pop out, untick play windows start up sound
  6. click apply

You can't delay it, plays as soon as OS loads. Seems you aren't alone with problem, but at least its only a few seconds, not 30 like this one - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...ier-than/5404e4a5-472f-4aec-b9c4-97474d492dec

What are the specs of your PC?
Have you tried updating GPU drivers?
or motherboard drivers?

updating bios can help too.

right click start
choose terminal (might be windows terminal) admin
if it doesn't open as powershell, click the drop down arrow in title row and select from list
copy/paste this command into window:

Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth

and press enter

Then type SFC /scannow

and press enter


Restart PC if SFC fixes any files as some fixes require a restart to be implemented

First command repairs the files SFC uses to clean files, and SFC fixes system files

SFC = System File Checker. First command runs DISM - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/what-is-dism?view=windows-11
