      Hmm, interesting. I'm unsure what might be causing that. I would open a bug report to track it: https://redmine.pfsense.org/

      I asked about it internally. If any of out engineers have seen this I'll let you know.

        @stephenw10 Regarding boot/start menu, I had similar "graphics glicth" on my Dell desktop with Plus 22.05

        I couldn't test it more, because it was my main pfSense box.

        pfSense Plus 24.11-RELEASE (amd64)
        Dell Optiplex 7040 SFF
        Core i5-6500, 8GB RAM, 2x 240GB SSD (ZFS Mirror)
        HPE 561T (X540-AT2), 2-port 10Gb RJ45
        HPE 562SFP+ (X710-DA2), 2-port 10Gb SFP+

                Yes, so did you open a bug report for it?

                No one else has seen it here.

                  @stephenw10 There's been a misunderstanding, I thought it was you who was going to open a ticket, but I understand that it's up to me.

                    It's better if you open one since you have access to the hardware for any testing and can better describe how to replicate.

                      @Elrick75 Please make sure the BIOS is fully updated. I've had some weirdness with newest version of 2.7 CE where the boot would hang till I upgraded the BIOS.

                      That server may have the lifecycle feature so it'll upgrade the BIOS and firmwares for you.

                        @Darkk Bios was already updated to the lastest version.
                        I always follow firmware upgrade on all my device.
