Boot Screen

How to Change Your Windows 11 Boot Screen You can change your Windows 11 boot screen logo by using an open-source tool called HackBGRT GitHub Repository, as Windows 11 does not include a native setting to change this image. Because modifying the Boot Graphics Resource Table (BGRT) interacts directly with your system’s UEFI firmware, you must strictly satisfy certain system prerequisites and follow specific configuration rules. 🛠️ Phase 1: Verify System Prerequisites

Before downloading or modifying any files, verify that your computer configuration supports this custom modification. Open the Run dialog box by pressing Win + R. Type msinfo32 and press Enter. Locate BIOS Mode in the System Summary.

Confirm it reads UEFI. (Note: If it says “Legacy”, do not proceed). Open Disk Management by right-clicking the Start menu.

Right-click your primary boot drive, select Properties, and go to the Volumes tab.

Verify that the Partition style is GUID Partition Table (GPT). 🔒 Phase 2: Disable Secure Boot

The system bootloader will reject a custom splash image unless you temporarily turn off Secure Boot via your system’s motherboard firmware settings.

Hold the Shift key while clicking Restart in the Windows Start menu.

Navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings.

Click Restart to boot directly into your computer’s BIOS/UEFI interface. Locate the Security, Boot, or Authentication tab. Find Secure Boot and switch it to Disabled. Save your settings and exit to reboot back into Windows 11. 🎨 Phase 3: Create the Custom Image

The custom replacement image must meet rigid formatting specifications so the system can read and project it accurately during bootup. Open MS Paint or your preferred graphic editor. Create or resize your image to roughly 300×300 pixels.

Fill any empty canvas space with a solid black background (#000000). Click File > Save As. Select BMP picture as the target format. Choose 24-bit Bitmap from the drop-down menu. Name the final file splash.bmp. ⚙️ Phase 4: Apply the Custom Boot Logo

With your image properly prepared, you can now swap the image by initiating the utility tool script.

Download the latest release package from the official HackBGRT GitHub Repository.

Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP archive into a dedicated folder. Copy your freshly made splash.bmp file.

Paste it into the extracted HackBGRT folder, choosing to overwrite and replace the default image.

Right-click setup.exe within that directory and select Run as administrator.

Press the I key inside the Command Prompt terminal window to begin the installation.

A configuration text document will open in Notepad; simply close it to finish the configuration loop.

Restart your computer to verify your custom screen logo appears. 🔄 How to Revert to Default Windows Logo

If you decide to restore the original manufacturer or default Windows logo later, you can cleanly wipe the software hook. YouTube·Britec09 Change The Windows 11 Boot Logo
