Why does a problem occur only immediately after Windows 11 starts?
Only occurs immediately after Windows 11 starts up, and it does not happen at any other time while the system is running. After the initial boot sequence completes, the problem appears consistently but then disappears or becomes inaccessible after a few minutes, making it difficult to diagnose or reproduce on demand.

If it happens only during the first few minutes after startup, a startup app, background service or driver is probably still loading. However, the description does not say what the actual problem is, so it is not possible to identify the exact cause yet.
Try this:
- Note the exact symptom and time it happens. Take a screenshot or phone video if it disappears quickly.
- Open Task Manager > Startup apps, disable nonessential startup items, and restart the PC.
- If the problem stops, enable those items again one at a time until you find the cause.
- Search for View reliability history and check for application or hardware errors recorded at that time.
- Temporarily turn off Fast Startup under Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do, then perform a full shutdown and test again.
Please also provide what actually happens, any error message, the affected app or device, and whether it occurs after a restart, a shutdown, or waking from sleep. Those details are needed to narrow it down.
The most effective and systematic way to diagnose this is a Clean Boot.
