Tired of the ugly circle on your boot screen that ruins everything?
You can go from this to this very easily :))

))

Firstly, download winaero tweaker

Then, just disable the 'enable loading circle' but keep 'enable windows logo' because otherwise you can't exactly replace it. I am so happy with how it looks now and I can finally add an accurate win2k boot logo without it looking wrong

I hate the forced UWP/Metro/Tablet UI in Windows 10/11, I wish they kept at least the Control Panel.

The 2k boot logo won't be animated though.

Working on de-metroifing the Windows UI (and maybe making it 100% usable without DWM)

That is quite obvious but it still means you can use any colour boot screen that’s not black (they needed to be black to suit the loading circle so it won’t look out of place)
