    I see these 3 symbols (See Photo) on my windows Lockscreen when the Computer is booting up for about 2 seconds then goes away. Does anyone know why or what their purpose is for? John IMG_0513.JPG

    "IF" you had a sign on screen, you'd see those all the time.... I believe they are call quick status icons.

    One is the POWER button to reboot/shutdown.

    If you hover over them with your mouse, you will see their function. You can then Google that to learn more.

    The first one is a NETWORK Icon.
    The second on is the Ease of Access button.
    The third one is the POWER button to sleep, hibernate, shut down, or restart the PC.

    Hmmm, mine stay visible indefinitely - until I enter my password to get in.

    Do you have a password set for that screen?

    That's probably why yours quickly disappear - Windows moves on to the next phase of the boot process. At least that's my guess.
