I've been experiencing what kmj2318's describing as well. My MacBook Pro (2015) would restart while logging in on a frequent basis. I even started a thread about it here. An Erase & Install fixed it though.
Got a tip for us?

It's not the Setup Assistant. It's full screen during the installation.
I suspect it is changing users during installation as it is the standard switch user animation.
I am very surprised that nobody mentioned yet that since yesterday's beta Mail.app has a new sidebar and progress display. The progress pops up from the bottom when necessary. The section headers got a new "+" button. The Mailboxes' button opens the new mailbox dialogue, and the smart folders' opens the new Smart Folder sheet.
The Setup Assistant has cube transition since 10.5, but he was talking about the user account switching animation.
It seems like the Setup Assistant uses a different account and it switches back to the main account after upgrading. Maybe it has to do something with Rootless.
I discovered the Time Machine icon has been tweaked. The hour hand is shorter.
I don't see that here, although I didn't do a clean install.
Good find, although that seems to be present in earlier betas as well.
And I wondered what I might have done wrong.... Never had the idea linking it to Filevault...
The OS X 10.10 DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability is fixed in El Cap. Yosemite systems are said to be wide open to the exploit.
Here is a reddit-discussion.
I'm surprised MacRumors hasn't picked up on this.

No it's not an indicator for that. The problem with password entry in shells is that you don't see anything. In Yosemite they've added a blinking dot so you have some status. That dot has now been turned into a key icon as your screenshot shows. If you want secure text entry you need to enable the secure keyboard entry from the menu.
I like El Capitan more and more as I discover more little features that make things a bit easier. Being able to now actually use the mouse inside shell sessions is cool but so is the sidebar showing up in Safari when you are running it fullscreen and move your mouse to the left side of the screen.
Here's a screenshot of the new installer:
I know there already was a photo on the first page of this thread, but this is a screenshot from the first stage, before rebooting.

Yeah - my 2012 MacBook Air did this, too, but had the grey-on-grey version (like its boot screen). I like that Apple is simplifying the visual chrome, much like iOS.
not sure if this is a bug or a feature.. but when you go to force quit something you can't force quit multiple items at once.
Your keyboard doing the wave while installing updates is new too!
I have no empirical evidence but it seems to me that processes in general are using less CPU on 10.11 than on 10.10.
Overall feeling is very good, stable and smooth. Not that I had any problems with 10.10.
Think this is going to be a good release.

Too bad that they didn’t improve it elsewhere. It’s such a pain in the arse for browsing.
I've never seen it before... Why would it just show up now? I've installed many updates before.
Also iBooks and a few other apps I think. Too bad iTunes still doesn't have it yet. :C
It didn't in Yosemite and the first El Capitan Dev-Preview. Don't know about DP2 and 3, though.
