      @herb_fargus Okay, that makes sense. So, every setting that recreates the startup script could be used as a "fix" for some autostart problems – if the splash screen setting isn't the only one that does it, of course.
      Thank you for expanding my knowledge of this world. :)

              @blazein said in First boot up of retropie comes up with a command line.:

              i tried everything

              What does 'everything' mean ? This is what I've asked. This question is already answered in several topics in the forum:

              • https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18582/auto-login-not-working/
              • https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18591/asking-for-retropie-login-on-boot-after-update

              Have you tried any of the solutions posted in those topics ?

                          OK, so if you're at the command prompt, then run sudo raspi-config and you'll be presented with a menu, where you can follow the instructions from the topics I mentioned and re-enable auto-login.
                          What happens if you type sudo raspi-config and press enter after you login ?

                                  @blazein Then you may have a different problem. The way RetroPie configures auto-login is exactly how you set it up in raspi-config, so if it doesn't work now then there's another problem at stake.
