When I am getting ready to log out of my Windows 8.1 system, I click the start flag lower-left to switch to the "Apps" view, then click on my upper-right self and select "Sign Out". If I just click on that upper-right name then simply exit the resulting dialog the desktop icon on the Start screen rolls (as it does if I actually click on "Sign Out" - apparently the exit of the dialog is what triggers the roll). This is relatively new behavior and makes me wonder if something else has changed. Anyway, the GIF below shows the rolling and the question of this thread is: "Why is this happening?" and "What changed to make this happen?" and "Should I start looking into other problems of this ancient install or am I just paranoid?"
