How to Enable Verbose Logon Messages
🖥️💡 Tech Tip from CBC Computer Services 💡🖥️
Ever wonder what’s actually happening behind the scenes when your PC is starting up or logging in? 🧐
Windows usually hides the details with generic messages like “Please wait”, but there’s a cool feature called Verbose Logon Messages that lets you see real-time status messages like:
✅ “Applying Group Policy…”
✅ “Starting Windows Services…”
✅ “Preparing Network Connections…”
This is super helpful if you’re troubleshooting a slow startup or just like seeing what your PC is doing.
🔧 How to Turn It On (Windows 11 & 10):
Just run the following command in Command Prompt (as Administrator):
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v VerboseStatus /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Then restart your computer to see the difference! 🧠⚙️
