STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Reboot KDE Plasma.

OBSERVED RESULT
System boots to desktop with screenshot of KDE bootscreen.

EXPECTED RESULT
System boots to regular desktop.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon
(available in About System)

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 opport 2021-10-05 12:34:49 UTC 
Upon reviewing session management, this ties into Bug #437368: "Spectacle Takes Screenshot Without Being Prompted To Do So":

How to reproduce the issue:
- Take screenshot with spectacle and choose "copy to clipboard. The process "spectacle" will still be running.
- Use following setting in "Startup and Shutdown" -> "Desktop Session":
 "When Logging in" : Restore previous session
- Reboot.

Rebooting will restart the Spectacle process from your previous session and cause a screenshot to be captured during the boot screen.

Short-term fix:
- Under settings "Startup and Shutdown" -> "Desktop Session"
add "kde-spectacle" to list of "Don't restore these applications".
