yes its me again, but ive been doing plently of research of changing the windows 11/10 boot screen. im starting with windows 10 as this seems to be the easyist. now i have found some files listed below that contain boot information, but non of them contain the uefi boot tile dot animation. im trying to figuer out where that is and change it to a custom loading bar animation and possibly change the postion of the animation of the boot screen.

here are the files

- bootres.dll
-ntkolm.exe/.dll
-bcd.file
-eftsbcd.msdosapplication
-boottres.dll.mui
-bootspaces.dll

which of thease files can i decomplie and figuer out on how to change it so i can modify the boot screen animation?

From a a little Google search I found that the bootres.dll file contains the image (blue Windows logo) and must be replaced with another image 300x300 pixels. A good tool for that is Resource Hacker or maybe Customizer God. I will try it and report back.

You mean the Windows 10/11 dots that in Windows 11 22H2 became curves? I don't know about that. I would not mind keeping the original animation if I could replace the blue Windows logo with something more colourful.

I found this guide: How to change the boot logo in Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 I used Resource Hacker to save the suggested data as file 1.wim I then opened the file with 7-Zip and extracted the images. I modified the images but 7-Zip would not import them back (function not supported). WHAT!!! Do you know any way to import files in a .wim archive? WinRAR won't even open it. Please!!!!!
