Hello,so i changed my windows 10 biot logo to a custom picture with a tutorial made by benstechtips. So i did everything exactly like him,sign the bootres file and replace the original file in boot>resources. And now when i boot theres just a loading bar without the custom picture?

According to the forum post that you referenced on benstechtips.com

Oh no, my boot logo has completely disappeared! What do I do?

Don't worry - this isn't uncommon. It's simply because you changed a Windows file to a version that it does no longer recognise as original. You have to turn test signing on.

1) Go to Command Prompt (as Administrator).

2) Type the following command: 


bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

3) Now attempt to reboot again!

 

However, I don't recommend turning test mode on. Not only could it potentially make your system less stable / secure, you'll have a "Test Mode" watermark on your desktop.

 

 

EDIT:

According to this post further down the topic, once you reboot into test mode, Repeat the same steps, but change the command to... 

bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF

This will turn test mode off and should preserve the new logo.

Omfg... My pictures werent close by res. In windows they were like 105x95 (example) mine were 250x95.. Could that be the prob?

It's possible. I was doing some more research. Are you running a UEFI or legacy install of Windows.

Yes, it was replaced by Powershell in the latest Windows build update. just hit start > type CMD > then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter

It's legacy. Gigabyte mobo but i want that asus rog look. Can u send me some asus rog pics that will be compatible? Also how do i run cmd inside of folder?

Okay, so Legacy is good in this case. It means that you should be able to change the boot image. Things get a little weird with UEFI because the boot image could be stored in your motherboard's firmware.

The guide on the forum post that you followed (I linked it earlier. I think it's the right one) has instructions on scaling an image. I don't want to provide a logo that I don't own the rights to.

It shouldn't matter where you run CMD from. If you want to go to another folder, just CD to it.
