Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if there's a way to "block" the Windows 10 startup loading screen so that it remains visible until a specific program of my choice has completely finished loading. Essentially, I'd like to delay the loading of the desktop until this particular program is ready to use. Any insights or suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

That will be a no too Andrea_33. Windows is actually processing the auto login in the background while the username and the processing circle is shown. The time duration that the screen is shown depends on the systems processing power. More powerful the system, less will be the duration the screen is shown but there is no way to completely remove the screen or display something else.
Thank you for your response. I have another quick question. I've configured automatic login on my PC, but I'm interested in removing the login page that displays the username and the small loading wheel. Is there a way to achieve this? Your help is much appreciated!
Hello Andrea_33.
I am Jaspreet Singh.
I am sorry for the bad news but this is not currently possible via any known method.
