On Windows 11, the lock screen disappears immediately upon startup
Previously, the lock screen wallpaper would appear first after booting up, and the PIN entry screen would only appear after clicking the mouse. However, starting yesterday, the system goes directly to the PIN entry screen after booting up, skipping the lock screen wallpaper. If I manually press Win + L to lock the screen after booting up, it works normally. How can I restore the lock screen wallpaper that appears at startup?

Your issue is that the lock screen wallpaper no longer appears immediately after startup, and you go straight to the PIN screen. When you manually lock the PC with Win + L, the lock screen appears as expected.
Do you have Windows Hello enabled by any chance? If yes, try disabling it and check again.
