@HACKKER Him maybe being a Linux User doesn't change anything. I can do what I want with my PC and even if it Breaks to the Max it isn't a Problem. I can restore, Modify and just do anything with Windows if I want to. And guess what... I never used Linux in my whole entire Life. You just need to know what you're doing. And you don't need Linux for that.
@HACKKER No? You also don't need to in linux. But I'm in that Folder like everyday and I never used Linux. And I'm talking about Windows right now. So rather you are telling me that I have no knowledge or I don't know which Linux you are talking about since I don't know anybody that needs to go into their System Files 30 times.
And if you would try to tell me that I have no Knowledge then that wouldn't make any sense. The only thing I ever did with Linux was installing it. You know not the already done Version. I only had the Kernel. Nothing more and from there I had to "build" it because I read books about Computers and Operating Systems. I have enough knowledge. And btw restoring a Computer as an example? That's not even hard, even a 6 Year old could do that (If it's Windows at least)
FOR THOSE GETTING INVALID PARAMETER FOR THE SECOND COMMAND: The system is registering your first and last name as two separate arguments. If your username has 2+ words, add quotation marks around %username%, like so: icacls C:\Windows\Boot\Resources\bootres.dll /grant "%username%":f
You don't need Restorator, it's not free. Resource Hacker is free (google it), does the same thing. BUT, you can extract the boot image directly from the DLL to save time from saving as a .wim that way you can just make the .wim. Simply open the bootres.dll in 7zip and extract the boot logo image files. As for resigning, it is possible but not with this method which appears broken. There are alternate methods to re-signing windows executables and DLLs out there if you google them :) Edit: one of these methods would be using the Windows 10 SDK signtool to resign the DLL :)
Bartok and His Friends' Bad Ideas Nope. I’ve given up. Though on the “turn windows features on and off” menu, there’s a system lockdown, where you can do a custom boot logo there, though I haven’t figured it out.
I am just going to give a disclaimer. This tutorial no longer works on any version of Windows. If you want to change the logo you will need to look up how to change your bios to uefi and look at Michael MJD's video on the topic. That is currently the only way to change the logo.
*For everyone having trouble try this:* Open CMD as administrator. Input the following command: takeown /f C:\Windows\Boot\Resources\bootres.dll Should prompt "SUCCESS" message. Second command: icacls C:\Windows\Boot\Resources\bootres.dll /grant "%username%":f Open up the folder containing your custom bootres.dll file and press "file" in the upper left corner and open powershell as administrator input the following command: .\signer64.exe /sign sign bootres.dll The .\ is important to input the command effectively. If you used CMD instead of powershell, as was done in the video, use the following command instead: signer64.exe /sign sign bootres.dll Now simply replace the original bootres.dll file with the custom one and restart the pc Like this comment if it helped.

So.. i guess this is it ben.... After all of this years you decide to quit. Its your choice, your descision. Just keep using your twitter or facebook. We need to know how you are doing! We have been here for years with you! Dont leave us like that!
8:10 > if you press the little chain symbol at the right of the two textboxes, you can 'unlink' the width and height value and change them independently
You don't want to do that when scaling as it will warp the image. Instead keep them linked and change either the X or the Y of the image so that the other value is slightly higher than what you want then crop it to the proper dimensions.
In the Windows 10 Creators Update, they removed the open "command window here". There is a workaround. 1. Open the power user menu with the Windows key + X (press at the same time). 2. Then click "Command Prompt (Admin)" 3. Now click next to the boot logo (any blank space) 4. At the same time, press "Ctrl + C". 5. Go to the command prompt and type "cd" 6. Lastly hit Ctrl + V (at the same time) next to cd. It should look something like "cd C:\Users\Tripower443\Desktop\Boot Logo" 7. Press Enter 8. Follow video steps. Hope this helps! :D
Windows 10 was supposed to be so user friendly. Seems like a whole lot of work for something as simple as a startup pic or animation. Thanks windows for not being as advertised.
Brilliant. Even tho a lot of ppl are having issues, the fixes are also in the comments. Don't forget to make a backup before you do this.

"Failed to sign 'bootres.dll' : %1 is not a valid win32 aplication" help please. I already tried to do it on resource tuner but when i right click 1, nothing happens ;(
I try the method in your video tutorial but it didn't work even I did remove the qrcode inside the RCData. the logo didn't appear, only those spinning white circles & to think that my laptop BIOS mode was Legacy.
+BensTechTips this method does not work on latest build of windows 10 which is: 15063.413 version 1703. Can you show in a new video how do customize the boot logo for this build?
I made this, and my logos does not change, it displays black screen, i realize that when i run Signer64 the legend "Signed. bootres.dll" does not display. maybe because The first time Signer64 runs it asks for a Certificate, i really don't know why
Next thing I would love to know is how to change the startup screen, the one that is black in your case. Sadly changing the logon picture, doesn't change the first screen where it's loading.
I made it through the entire tutorial doing things exactly the same as you did up to the part where you turn it to test mode which i did aswell, it just didnt work for me
As someone said, use Resource Tuner for 64 bits instead of Restorator, specially for the changing the updated RCDATA. Looks like Restorator does not work fine with 64 bits (my impression).
When I extract the .wim file then in this 6 extra images name qrcode also present but in your video 6 win logo images are present. I check also in anniversary update but qr code images are also present.plz help
Dude! Please make an updated version of this, because the Restorator isn't working properly anymore! It says it can't save the file in its original form until I purchase the full version...

same prob here too ! Moreover windows security was prompting me to connect SMART CARD several times even after cmd was issued as admin (wtf?). I never saw a Smart Card my whole life ! Outta Nowhere !
It doesn't work for me. I did everything like you said in the video. Instead of Restorator I used Resource Tuner. I had problem moving the file to C:\Windows\Boot\Resource\, so I used TakeOwnershipEx and it worked. I turned on Windows Test in cmd and rebooted. Now I don't have any boot logo. Does the winlogo#.bmp files must have the exact size as the default ones (I'm talking about bytes, the resolution is the same.)??? Please tell me what I did wrong.

A SOLUTION TO ALL SOORY FOLKS OUT THERE FOR YA! At the first section of using restorator, use the restorator as prompted by the vid. (that's the part where you extract the file from the 1and make the RCData_1.wim file.) At the second part, USE YOUR Resource Tuner and Open bootres.dll, click the plus sign NEXT TO THE folder RC Data FROM THE LEFT SIDE!! Then, right-click the file 1:(United States) (or whatever) and click [Resource Tools] ->[Replace Resource With] Then, select the .wim file u made, and follow the rest of the vid, starting from the cmd part! Hey guys, plz give this reply a thumbs up so that others may see this reply, thxs!
any library of boot screens to choose from? of course i want to make my own, but i'm also curious as to what's been made out there :) also i might need to use one as a template :P
Good news guys! There's finally a way to change uefi logo :D, disable secureboot, download hack bgrt, open the setup file inside of the zip, hit i, hit i again, exit the notepad, paste your logo inside of the paint window, safe it and you're done! Please pin me so everyone knows it
Will this work for me? When my pc boots it just shows the motherboard splash screen and then the little spinner appears on top of it. I don't have a boot logo right now, just a full screen motherboard image.
+MrAssukka go to settings --> update and security--> Recovery--> Advanced Startup-->Restart Now Advanced options-->UEFI firmware-->restart now Press F10 launch BIOS then navigate the options untill you find "Boot" Then enable Legacy , it will ask you for confirmation then it will restart and again ask for confirmation , just hit enter and it'll reboot. Done
+MrAssukka im using win 10 and I encountered with a problem "1% ....... is not a valid win32 application..." Do tell me if you encounter with any problem :)
Everything went fine, followed step by step did the TESTSIGNING but all I have is the load icon. I had QR images in my dll file that I didn't see in yours. Could that have something to do with it?
i did everything correctly including the testsigning on, but still only the loading circle appears on start up. Could it be that the size of new bootres.dll matters since it became720kb from 27kb originally?
it's win, not wim EDIT: Well, I just noticed that it's really wim ,sorry... But 7-Zip can extract it, no matter what ending the file has. So I think you accidantly extracted the wrong file!
It doesn't work on Windows 11 so I switched back to Windows 10 and it doesn't work on that, either. (Yes, Secure Boot is off and Legacy boot is set, too, so this is just bogus and bunk.)
SOLUTION FOR SIGNING ERROR: 1)open cmd with admin like in the video 2)type signer64.exe /create test or signer.exe /create test 3)type signer64.exe /sign test bootres.dll or signer.exe /sign test bootres.dll 'test' can be replaced by an another name ^^
I'm getting this message when attempting to sign bootres.dll: Error: Failed to sign 'bootres.dll': %1 is not a valid Win32 application. (2147942593) This occurs in both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
I opened the signer64 file by itself and it gave me the warning message.I said OK and after that, I did the same thing and it didn't ask for a Smart Card.
After the process, the boot logo doesn't show up at all. I have already tried the following: - Repeated the procedure with a new bootres file - Checked the resolution and format of the pictures - Checked if the resource is properly replaced - Signed bootres countless times - Booted Win10 in Test Mode (disables signature verification) Some help, please?

How to work in UEFI: Disable 'Full Screen Logo' option in your UEFI settings.
When I'm putting the signer command it shows

Error: Failed to sign 'bootres.dll': %1 is not a valid Win32 application. (2147942593)
Any way to use something like this with UEFI?
I think you can do that by editing a bios update file
Most bios have an option to switch between legacy and uefi boot oprom, and windows shouldn't be affected, however, use at your own discretion
Legacy is old & outdated though
Don't use Legacy. You lose a lot of nice features and like Salty Goal said it's extremely old and outdated

This method only works on a fresh installation of windows 10 first release. But I don't have it. I have the setup of version 1803. Will you be able to make videos on each different versions of windows 10.
hey +BensTechTips! awesome tutorial man but getting a bit stuck here, in ComPrompt im getting:
"failed to sign 'bootres.dll' : %1 is not a valid Win32 application. (2147942593)"
im running 64 and when it didnt work the first time i tried again with the 32 bit version of signer, same problem :/
hope you have a fix for this dude

Same problem!
You have either modified the file to the extent, it has corrupted. You need to re-install the dll, from either Microsoft or from rollback.
i did that already and it still didn't work!
same prob here too ! Moreover windows security was prompting me to connect SMART CARD several times even after cmd was issued as admin (wtf?). I never saw a Smart Card my whole life ! Outta Nowhere !
It doesn't work for me. I did everything like you said in the video. Instead of Restorator I used Resource Tuner. I had problem moving the file to C:\Windows\Boot\Resource\, so I used TakeOwnershipEx and it worked. I turned on Windows Test in cmd and rebooted. Now I don't have any boot logo. Does the winlogo#.bmp files must have the exact size as the default ones (I'm talking about bytes, the resolution is the same.)??? Please tell me what I did wrong.

Bro if it can not run then just let it walk smh
@@risingdarkness3567 good idea. thank you for your wisdom
@@risingdarkness3567 sad reality bro
what version is your toaster?
‘Signer64.exe’is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. Error oocurs
And I tried another command also it also says the same
restorator is not recognizing the dll, says it is a 16bit file, not a 32bit file
i am running 64bit, is that the cause?
all fixed, used a different application
what application can i use?
resource tuner
that legit helped me bro
Sameera Madhushan Yeah
Doesn’t work restarted and it just defaulted to the norm windows logo.
A SOLUTION TO ALL SOORY FOLKS OUT THERE FOR YA! At the first section of using restorator, use the restorator as prompted by the vid. (that's the part where you extract the file from the 1and make the RCData_1.wim file.)
At the second part, USE YOUR Resource Tuner and Open bootres.dll, click the plus sign NEXT TO THE folder RC Data FROM THE LEFT SIDE!! Then, right-click the file 1:(United States) (or whatever) and click [Resource Tools] ->[Replace Resource With]
Then, select the .wim file u made, and follow the rest of the vid, starting from the cmd part!

any library of boot screens to choose from? of course i want to make my own, but i'm also curious as to what's been made out there :) also i might need to use one as a template :P
Good news guys! There's finally a way to change uefi logo :D, disable secureboot, download hack bgrt, open the setup file inside of the zip, hit i, hit i again, exit the notepad, paste your logo inside of the paint window, safe it and you're done! Please pin me so everyone knows it
after i finish the logo disappears and i get black screen instead, plz help .
Signer 64 works it’s that it failed to sign bootres . dll %1 is not a valid 32 application
same :(
it clearly says "signer 64"

Will this work for me? When my pc boots it just shows the motherboard splash screen and then the little spinner appears on top of it. I don't have a boot logo right now, just a full screen motherboard image.
How do I change my bootup thingy to the legacy one that you need? I have UEFI
+MrAssukka go to settings --> update and security--> Recovery--> Advanced Startup-->Restart Now
Advanced options-->UEFI firmware-->restart now
Press F10 launch BIOS
then navigate the options untill you find "Boot"
Then enable Legacy , it will ask you for confirmation then it will restart and again ask for confirmation , just hit enter and it'll reboot. Done
Lance Vercitty wow, thanks man :D
+MrAssukka im using win 10 and I encountered with a problem "1% ....... is not a valid win32 application..."
Do tell me if you encounter with any problem :)
Lance Vercitty Ok, I will
+icallofdutywithyourwifeinthekitchen I can't find any boot options in my BIOS that have an option of Legacy help
Everything went fine, followed step by step did the TESTSIGNING but all I have is the load icon. I had QR images in my dll file that I didn't see in yours. Could that have something to do with it?
i have an ssd so it booted so fast that it didnt even show the spinning circle lmao
i did everything correctly including the testsigning on, but still only the loading circle appears on start up. Could it be that the size of new bootres.dll matters since it became720kb from 27kb originally?
7-zip doesen't extract WIM files, it just tells me that it's not an archive
it did that for me too. i had to spam it and eventually it worked.
worked for me
it's win, not wim
EDIT: Well, I just noticed that it's really wim ,sorry...
But 7-Zip can extract it, no matter what ending the file has. So I think you accidantly extracted the wrong file!
The Only Hero 76 winarar
Update to newer version of 7-Zip.
It doesn't work on Windows 11 so I switched back to Windows 10 and it doesn't work on that, either. (Yes, Secure Boot is off and Legacy boot is set, too, so this is just bogus and bunk.)
in last step (signing the .dll file) signer is telling connect a smart card. What to do?
mee too :(
Just hit cancel or skip once, twice, or three times.
SOLUTION FOR SIGNING ERROR:
1)open cmd with admin like in the video
2)type signer64.exe /create test or signer.exe /create test
3)type signer64.exe /sign test bootres.dll or signer.exe /sign test bootres.dll
'test' can be replaced by an another name ^^
Thanks
still says failed to sign
can someone help? everytime i do the command at the end it sends smart card and idk what thats supposed to mean
it says i need to install a smart card
+DragonFrostx2 open your task manager go to services & open WdNisSvc then search down for smart card enable it to automatic :)
ok thanks
+Lance Vercitty I did like you said but still asks for smart card..I also restarted my pc but didn't help

When i launch signer i keep getting the message 'Connect to Smart Card'
me too
I opened the signer64 file by itself and it gave me the warning message.I said OK and after that, I did the same thing and it didn't ask for a Smart Card.
you use it from the cmd not double click

@@2001j33p just keep hitting cancel
After the process, the boot logo doesn't show up at all.
I have already tried the following:
- Repeated the procedure with a new bootres file
- Checked the resolution and format of the pictures
- Checked if the resource is properly replaced
- Signed bootres countless times
- Booted Win10 in Test Mode (disables signature verification)
Some help, please?
