There is a weird bug in Windows 10 Anniversary Update. Some users noticed that when their PC restarts or shuts down, there are no spinning dots above the "Restarting" or "Shutting down" text. Here is how to fix it.
The bug is related to animation settings in Windows 10. If the user has disabled animations in Windows 10 Anniversary Update, e.g. to speed up the Start menu, it causes this behavior for the shutdown user interface.

To keep the spinning dots visible, the user should not disable the option "Animate controls and elements inside windows" as described here: http://winaero.com/blog/fix-no-spinni...
