Shiranui Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 How long is the boot logo displayed that you feel compelled to modify it? Are you booting up from a rusty IDE HDD, or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I understand is that I can't image UEFI based systems with MDS, or Ghost with the software loads my job requests. So I disable it on every new system that's bought in order to get them loaded, and in place in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you can run UEFI in legacy mode, it will pull the image from that dll while booting, and still support GPT. All of my UEFI systems that are not in legacy mode display the UEFI splash screen while booting, along with the typical windows 10 loading circle. My UEFI laptop that doesn't support Secure Boot uses the blue logo, as well as my workstation while in legacy mode. Mando 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 After watching the above video, I am discouraged from trying to alter the Windows logo file. This is where Microsoft should have thought ahead and realized that people might get tired of the same blue logo. MS should have built in a way to change it -- even let people use their own customized logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It becomes a support nightmare. It isn't hard to modify; I'm sure you can do it with your 20 years of experience building and fixing PCs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
