No, thanks. They start sprinkling water and shouting things in Latin as soon as they see me coming.

Correct but @LabViewStuff got there just a smidge ahead of you...

"Yearn to be at the top" = prick
"of the Church" = bishop

Hello all,
After a week out of the office...
When I turn the laptop on while connected at the dock station I can see how the computer brand appearing at the POST screen normally at the beginning, but when the Windows 10 login screen should appear I can see nothing but the mouse cursor blinking.
This also happens when the computer comes back from the screen saver/sleep after a short period of not using it (i.e. leaving the computer on before going to lunch).
I can write my password and press enter and then everything starts working properly.
In other cases I need to press the power button and send the computer to sleep. When I wake it up everything works as expected.
This is new for me... Not a super big deal, but... any idea on why this could be happening? any cpian has seen something like this before? and in case you have, how you've solved it?
Thank you all!

Our dog behaves the same way when we go away for a week - pretends it doesn't know us, etc. Perhaps your computer has reached dog-like intelligence?
Seriously, I find that I get similar errors when I cold-boot my computer with an external drive connected. Could this be it?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I get similar, but worse, errors whenever I cold-boot my laptop (as in temperature-wise). It just hangs at the beginning of the boot, before it enters POST and long before it gets anywhere near Windows. I guess it's a motherboard issue, these days I never let it get cold and it's fine.

Be careful... a friend of mine left his laptop near the stove and then he called me asking if it was easy to replace his laptop keyboard...
Keys started to double up and the right part of the keyboard became bent.

I don't keep it that warm!

The best of that it was that it kept working...
It was the cheapest DELL laptop I've seen, but at least it was armored against heat...

I've had similar issues if I turn on the laptop and I have a USB stick plugged in - looking for a boot disk?

Shouldn't be... it also happens after the computer goes sleep after a while of not touching it (i.e. going lunch).

Well, there's the problem - your computer is still out to lunch!

This sounds like the issue one of my laptops has with Win10 (and 8.1 before that) except logging in doesn't cure it. When I researched it, I discovered that the issue was that the video driver doesn't reset correctly, and is a problem that's been with Windows since at least Windows 7 (google for "Windows 7 black death").
One solution (the one I use) is to create a task that automatically runs on boot and resets the video card. There's instructions out there if you what to try that route, but you might have to redo it every time Win10 updates, as I had to redo it after the anniversary update a while back. And as I recall, it requires installing the Windows DDK to get the utility you need to reset the driver.

I thought their drone master had been in power since January 20th?
