Change Windows 10 Boot Animation



You can now enable the Windows 10X boot logo animation in Windows 10, in regular desktop versions. The boot animation in Windows 10X looks different from what we have these days in desktop OS editions. It features a WinUI 3 spinning circle instead of Win8-like style circles.




Change Windows 10 Boot Animation




A registry script is a file that applies registry modifications. You can set up a registry script that enables the progressive ring animation in Windows 11, which is a slightly more automated method. This is how to set up a script that changes the boot animation:


Winaero Tweaker also includes some other interesting boot and login options worth noting. For instance, you can disable the boot animation ring altogether. To do that, click Boot Options to view the settings below. Unchecking the Enable loading circle checkbox will disable that animation. You can also remove the Windows 11 logo from the boot sequence by deselecting the Enable Windows logo box above that setting.


So, how do you like the new 10X progressive ring boot animation in Windows 11? Some users will probably love the more stylish ring, but others may prefer the old one. Try enabling the progressive ring animation with one of the methods above to see which one you prefer.


Windows has become synonymous with its modern blue-tiled logo. It can be seen in the black backdrop whenever PC is powered on. Windows gives tons of customization abilities to its users which include changing the default boot logo to any other picture. In this article, we bring to you a helpful guide that will teach you how to change Windows 10 boot logo, edit Windows startup and also look into Windows 10 boot screen changer.


If your Windows PC is running UEFI then you will need to disable Secure boot to change Windows 10 boot logo. Secure boot ensures that the device boots using only system-manufactured trusted software. If enabled, it will prevent the third-party applications from running and changing the boot logo. Follow these steps to check whether it is enabled.


We hope that this guide was helpful and you were able to change Windows 10 boot logo. We showed how to edit Windows startup using Windows 10 boot screen changer application, HackBGRT. If you have any queries or suggestions then feel free to drop them in the comments section.


As part of the boot experience, the startup will now show a progressive ring animation instead of an animated circle of dots. (Microsoft also plans to adopt this new animation in other parts of the OS.)


The boot animation is the first thing that you see when powering on your Android phone or tablet, after the operator or manufacturer logo. Although it does not serve a purpose functionally, an eye-catching boot animation can certainly make your device stand out while booting. In this third installment of our Android customization series, we will take a look at how to change or even create your Android boot animation and will feature some of the prettiest and geekiest boot animations we have come across.


The Android boot animation is contained within a an uncompressed zip file called bootanimation.zip that can be found in the media folder of the system partition i.e. /system/media on the internal memory of the device. This single file contains all the information required to play the boot animation, and is loaded automatically when the device boots. Thus, customizing or changing the boot animation is simply the process of editing or replacing this file.


While the Android boot animation might appear to be in a video format during playback, it is in fact a little different. If you extract the contents of the bootanimation.zip file to your computer, you will see:


As you can see, in the first line, 480 and 800 define the width and height of the boot animation in pixels for this example. This must be the same as the screen resolution of your device for the boot animation to properly play in full screen. 30 is the frame rate in fps (frames per second) i.e. number of images to display per second.


Translating all of this in case of the above example, the boot animation will play at a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels, at a frame rate of 30 fps, starting with the contents of part0 folder and after playing them in one loop, switching to contents of part1 folder and playing them continuously till the device fully boots.


There are hundreds of boot animations out there for a range of device resolutions. Some of them come as stock with certain devices and get extracted by users to be made available for others to install on their devices, while others are custom built by users and shared with the community.


Advantages of copying it to /data/local is that you will not require root access for it and it should work for all non-rooted devices without running the risk of changing anything in the /system partition. Furthermore, if a bootanimation.zip file is found in both locations, Android ignores the one found in /system/media and gives priority to the one in /data/local. A disadvantage of this method is that upon a hard reset (also called a full data wipe or a factory reset), the new boot animation will be lost.


Copying the boot animation to /system/media/ is possible only if your device is rooted and you have read+write access to the /system partition. An advantage of this method is that upon a hard reset, the new boot animation will still remain and there will be no need to apply it again. A disadvantage is that it requires ADB or a root level file browser such as Root Explorer or Super Manager.


Try the app BAC, (boot animation changer I think.) Worked on my rooted evo. It actually searches out where the boot animation zip is located on the phone. There is a lite version that will let you try it and might possibly be enough. Hope that helps you. -B-rye


Whenever i go system/customize/resource .. the bootanimation.zip file doesnt let me do anything. When i try to change that file with the new bootanimation file .. root explorer says failed or error . Why is that so? i cooked the bootanimation from kitchen . What could be wrong?


For some reason, this is what most of my students and trainee ask about in every customization class.The answer for that is - Of course you can modify that image . To make a long story short:You can actually do it for every device by storing a noncompressed zip file at /data/local/bootanimation.zip (just copy from CyanoGenMod and make sense of the animation layout and timing - that's the easiest way, and it explains much better than any explaination).


As I wrote in some other StackOverflow post, there are a couple of places you can do that (I disregard the encrypted case for the sake of simplicity):system/media and /data/local/ .The latter is preferable as it makes it easier to modify, and does not require the tedious modification of the system.img (system partition) size.Note that bootanimation.zip should be lowercase, and -0 compressed.


I recently bought an OMEN 15 DC-0000NS which came with FreeDOS, so I installed a copy of Windows 10 Pro. Upon booting it into Windows for the first time, I noticed that the OMEN logo that appears on startup has an extremely low resolution (something like 64x64 pixels blown up to the laptop's native resolution of 1080p). It's not like the overall resolution during boot is low either, because the loading animation that appears right below the low-res logo is actually displayed at the correct resolution.


Thanks for answering so quickly; however I feel that it's unlikely that a factory reset would help with my problem (given that it appears before Windows is loaded) and even if it did, I prefer to have a bad looking boot animation than to have to go through the trouble of reinstalling and reconfiguring everything.


Hi everyone,I don't like default garuda boot animation. Why you trying to imitate Windows?I like second animation which using after log in to the system.How to replace first animation by second?Thanks


Your opinion sounds accusing No need for that when you ask newbie question and not bother to post in the right section. I think Microsoft didn't invent boot splash nor circular loading animation, and isn't the first or only one to use them so not sure what you mean by imitating them.


The latest operating system from Microsoft, Windows 11, has a hidden boot animation for the boot/start screen. Apart from the default circle dots boot-animation, there is a progressive ring boot animation in Windows 11. Initially proposed for the abandoned Windows 10X operating system, the ring boot animation is available in Windows 11 as well, but not enabled by default.


Microsoft has disabled the progressive ring boot animation in Windows 11, so you will see the classic dots circle boot animation on the boot/start screen. But if you want a different look on your Windows 11 boot screen, you can enable the progressive ring boot animation without any software.


That is all how to change the boot animation in Windows 11. You can always go back to the classic circle dots boot animation by deleting the newly created BootControl. Right click on the BootControl and select delete to remove the new key.


- Android L5.1.1_2.1.0 BSP. The basics of the boot animation may also apply to older and upcoming releases but L5.1.1_2.1.0 BSP was used for this document. File names, settings or paths may be changed in older or newer releases.


The animations used by Android when booting are actually a series of images in either jpg or png format in a zip file with no compression (storage mode) and a text file (desc.txt) with the specified resolution, framerate and loops to be played by the animation. 2ff7e9595c
