Same question , I need to resolve it.
+1 Same question
Hi at all , i need to an update of our app.
Like user Iki i Have same question.
The oem logo in the new release of windows 20h2 , dont work.
It’s possible to know the correct path or reg line to enable this function.
thanks at all
The logo must be in 24-bit color on windows 20h2, just open your bmp image using paint -> save as -> choose 24-bit color
Great job sadly I lost my prime oem inform luckily that is really piece of trash.Now it’s look batter.
And may I see a new function to change Power-on screen in the future
– run “shell:::{bb06c0e4-d293-4f75-8a90-cb05b6477eee}” in the win + r dialog to open the old about page
– as heybam already mentioned, the image needs to be in 24bit format
– also dont worry if the transparency is seemingly gone after exporting the image with paint, it still works just fine

How do I stop Asus from “seeing” my laptop and installing its support software drivers? I do not want Asus collecting data from my computer. When I remove their drivers from device manager, they automatically get reinstalled. I do not want Asus installed apps running in the background. I do not need their diagnostic software running on my laptop. The only way to stop it from running is disabling the drivers in device manager. Once I uninstall their two device drivers, their support software downloads and installs itself once again.
