How to change Win10 boot loading animation to custom?
I know it is still technically early in the life span, but anyone know if there has been any updates on being able to customize the boot loading screen (Blue Windows logo with animated dots at the bottom, during start up)? Really wanting to change up the branding for an arcade/HTPC machine to something more personal.. More custom.
In my research attempts, there was plenty of information on doing it for Windows 7, but Windows 10 still seems to be a mystery for most. Some even believe it is not possible due to the new OS having it 'baked in' essentially.
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I would like to change the shell, for booting straight in to something like Kodi or EmulationStation, etc. I know things can be done in Classic Shell, but I know it is still working out the compatibility bugs with Win10 through updates. Also, all the info I have found has been more about changing Win10 back in to something visually similar to Win7, not about custom shells and boot-to options. So information in this area would be great too.
But mainly looking for how to customize boot loading animation, currently.
Thanks for your time.

The boot logo I'm talking about is the light blue Windows icon above the dots that indicate it's loading. I don't think it's a manufactures logo, I don't really know what that is. I am not talking about the lock screen.

Hello John,
Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community.
From the description provided, I understand that you want to change the Windows logo in the boot screen outlay.
Please be informed that the feature to change the boot logo with a custom image of your choice is not available.
The booting session is not advisable to be altered, as because this is a process during which Windows is loading the required system files to get the operating system up and running. So any changes may adversely affect the boot of the operating system itself.
Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further assistance, we would be happy to help you.
Thank you.

Then how did MapleTronics do it?
Toshiba do it?
Dell do it?
I see all kinds of personal start up logos.

Yes, how do those OEM's do it?
It seems like it should just be a PNG replacement, or registry equivalent, but I didn't design Windows. :-D

Well Mystic Taz I Might Be able to answer that Question as to why Those Boot Loading Icons are Different than the default windows 10 Image. The reason why is Because Manufacturers Like Dell, HP, ETC will hard Code Those different boot icon images Directly into the Computers BIOS itself.
So they don't actually Edit The OS's Boot Logo Image/Registry They Just embed the image they want to appear Into the BIOS of the Computer so that the Windows OS will display the Hard Coded Image(aka the companys logo) By Default, rather than loading the basic windows 10 Blue Logo.
And If any thoughts of editing your computers BIOS are running through your mind right now, let me Highly Advise against it Because Editing Your BIOS can literally Make Your Computers Hardware Unusable.
So I recommend Writing to Microsoft and kindly asking for them Make a customization for this feature of windows.
With Best Regards,,,Dalton..

Windows 10 Change Boot Name
I figured it out.
I have a nice ASUS motherboard (P8Z77-V LX) where I can upload my own logo and did.
It would have been nice is Microsoft did like back in the Windows 95 and 98 days, just add a Logo.sys.

Good I'm so Glad You Figured Out How to Change it, I wish I could change Mine But my Motherboard is a bit older so It doesn't have that function.
But I totally agree with you on the Logo.sys Method on the older windows OS's, at least it allowed people to customize There OS. Even Though Windows Has Come a long ways since the 95 Days They have gotten rid of some pretty nice features along the way.
Good Job, And with Best Regards,,,Dalton..

-->You can suppress Windows elements that appear when Windows starts or resumes and can suppress the crash screen when Windows encounters an error that it cannot recover from. This feature is known as Unbranded Boot.
Important
The first user to sign in to the device must be an administrator. This ensures that the RunOnce registry settings correctly apply the settings. Also, when using auto sign-in, you must not configure auto sign-in on your device at design time. Instead, auto sign-in should be configured manually after first signing in as an administrator.
Requirements
Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Professional, or Windows 10 Education.
Terminology
Turn on, Enable: To make the setting available to the device and optionally apply the settings to the device. Generally 'turn on' is used in the user interface or control panel, whereas 'enable' is used for command line.
Configure: To customize the setting or sub-settings.
Embedded Boot Experience: this feature is called 'Embedded Boot Experience' in Windows 10, build 1511.
Custom Boot Experience: this feature is called 'Custom Boot Experience' in Windows 10, build 1607 and later.
Turn on Unbranded Boot settings
Unbranded Boot is an optional component and is not enabled by default in Windows 10. It must be enabled prior to configuring. For end-users, Unbranded Boot is available through Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off.
Change Windows 7 Boot Screen To Windows 10
If Windows has already been installed you cannot apply a provisioning package to configure Unbranded Boot; instead you must use BDCEdit to configure Unbranded boot if Windows is installed.
BCDEdit is the primary tool for editing the startup configuration and is on your development computer in the %WINDIR%System32 folder. You have administrator rights for it. BCDEdit is included in a typical Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) 4.0. You can download it from the BCDEdit Commands for Boot Environment in the Microsoft Download Center if needed.
Turn on Unbranded Boot by using Control Panel
- In the Search the web and Windows field, type Programs and Features and either press Enter or tap or click Programs and Features to open it.
- In the Programs and Features window, click Turn Windows features on or off.
- In the Windows Features window, expand the Device Lockdown node, and check or clear the checkbox for Unbranded Boot.
- Click OK. The Windows Features window indicates Windows is searching for required files and displays a progress bar. Once found, the window indicates Windows is applying the changes. When completed, the window indicates the requested changes are completed.
- Click Close to close the Windows Features window.
Configure Unbranded Boot settings at runtime using BCDEdit
Open a command prompt as an administrator.
To disable the F8 key during startup to prevent access to the Advanced startup options menu, type the following:
To disable the F10 key during startup to prevent access to the Advanced startup options menu, type the following:
To suppress all Windows UI elements (logo, status indicator, and status message) during startup, type the following:
Configure Unbranded Boot using Unattend
You can also configure the Unattend settings in the Microsoft-Windows-Embedded-BootExp component to add Unbranded Boot features to your image during the design or imaging phase. You can manually create an Unattend answer file or use Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) to add the appropriate settings to your answer file. For more information about the Unbranded Boot settings and XML examples, see the settings in Microsoft-Windows-Embedded-BootExp.
Unbranded Boot settings
The following table shows Unbranded Boot settings and their values.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
DisableBootMenu | Contains an integer that disables the F8 and F10 keys during startup to prevent access to the Advanced startup options menu. Set to 1 to disable the menu; otherwise; set to 0 (zero). The default value is 0. |
DisplayDisabled | Contains an integer that configures the device to display a blank screen when Windows encounters an error that it cannot recover from. Set to 1 to display a blank screen on error; otherwise; set to 0 (zero). The default value is 0. |
HideAllBootUI | Contains an integer that suppresses all Windows UI elements (logo, status indicator, and status message) during startup. Set to 1 to suppress all Windows UI elements during startup; otherwise; set to 0 (zero). The default value is 0. |
HideBootLogo | Contains an integer that suppresses the default Windows logo that displays during the OS loading phase. Set to 1 to suppress the default Windows logo; otherwise; set to 0 (zero). The default value is 0. |
HideBootStatusIndicator | Contains an integer that suppresses the status indicator that displays during the OS loading phase. Set to 1 to suppress the status indicator; otherwise; set to 0 (zero). The default value is 0. |
HideBootStatusMessage | Contains an integer that suppresses the startup status text that displays during the OS loading phase. Set to 1 to suppress the startup status text; otherwise; set to 0 (zero). The default value is 0. |
Customize the boot screen using Windows Configuration Designer and Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)
If Windows has not been installed and you are using Windows Configuration Designer to create installation media with settings for Unbranded Boot included in the image, or you are applying a provisioning package during setup, you must enable Unbranded Boot on the installation media with DISM in order for a provisioning package to successfully apply. First you have to create the image or package.
Create a provisioning package or create a new Windows image in Windows Configuration Designer by following the instructions in Create a provisioning package.
In the Available customizations page, select Runtime settings > SMISettings and then set the value for the boot screen settings. The following values are just examples.
- HideAllBootUI=FALSE
- HideBootLogo=FALSE
- HideBootStatusIndicator=TRUE
- HideBootStatusMessage=TRUE
- CrashDumpEnabled=Full dump
Tip
See SMISettings in the Windows Configuration Designer reference for more information about the available SMISettings.
Once you have finished configuring the settings and building the package or image, you use DISM to apply the settings.
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges.
Copy install.wim to a temporary folder on hard drive (in the following steps, it assumes it's called c:wim).
Create a new directory.
Mount the image.
Enable the feature.
Commit the change.
In the following image, the BootLogo is identified by the green outline, the BootStatusIndicator is identified by the red outline, and the BootStatusMessage is identified by the blue outline.
Replace the startup logo
The only supported way to replace the startup logo with a custom logo is to modify the Boot Graphics Resource Table (BGRT) on a device that uses UEFI as the firmware interface. If your device uses the BGRT to include a custom logo, it is always displayed and you cannot suppress the custom logo.
