[QUOTE="PotentialUser, post: 889113, member: 87776"] Hey all, I recently updated my PC with Windows Update for Patch Tuesday. Upon restart, I was shown the login screen. So far, so good. However, once I put in my password and hit ENTER to login, instead of being brought to my desktop, I was shown this screen [URL: [MEDIA=imgur]kvv8RxW[/MEDIA]]. I uploaded the image to this post too in case you don’t want to click on the Imgur link. The two options presented were “Skip for now” and “Continue.” I clicked “Skip for now” and [I]only then[/I] did my regular desktop screen load up (the start menu, taskbar, etc.) I restarted my PC a few times since then and all is well; now when I enter my password to log in, it brings me to the desktop like it did before. I had read this kind of screen can [I]maybe[/I] pop up when updating entire builds of Windows from a large update. For example, from version 1903 to 1909. Or from version 1909 to the newest version 2004. Not from a small Patch Tuesday security update where your Windows version stays the same and some small security fixes are applied. Any idea what’s going on? Is this a legitimate Microsoft pop-up or something nefarious? Some information: [B]OS[/B]: Windows 10 64-bit [B]Edition[/B]: Pro (upgraded one of my Home Edition PCs to a Pro license some time ago) [B]Version[/B]: 1909 ([B][U]haven’t[/U][/B] yet received the update for the new version 2004) [B]Account[/B]: Local (I am [B][U]not[/U][/B] signed into any Microsoft/Outlook Account — not on the MS Store either) [/QUOTE]
