Hi. I have a laptop that Windows 7 is installed with UEFI boot and almost everything is running flawless. But ever since I installed W7's UEFI instead to normal boot, original W7's boot screen has changed to Vista's boot screen. This didn't happened with normal boot. I really like Windows 7's boot screen and miss it. Is there a way to recover Windows 7's boot logo or replace if the system itself actually see the current one as default? Thanks in advance.
Windows 7 UEFI Boot screen displays Vista Green Loading Bar

I tried revert back to original logo through bcdedit. It allegedly accepted but it didn't change the logo. Maybe it sees Vista bar as original logo? I wonder people who use Windows 7 as UEFI can actually see the original logo rather than Vista bar?
There is an app called Windows Logo Changer. I was going to use that to change Vista bar to original Windows 7's logo but the app itself doesn't support EFI/GPT. This is really not suprising as EFI/GPT systems are uncompatible with most of things.
I have a very new machine with UEFI running Windows 7. I have the proper Windows 7 logo at boot, not the Vista green loading bars.
What I said above, you are getting an automatic fallback due to lack of the proper video mode. You will need to play with the relevant boot flags for VGA. Otherwise your UEFI is not offering Windows the video mode it wants for the boot screen.
Thanks for reply, I believe what you said about video mode is true. I did some research again and I found a person who has exactly my problem and he has found a solution.
"Problem solved, I finally figured it out, it was a bios setting, chandged "launch video OpROM policy" to "UEFI only" and here we go everything went perfect"
This person is lucky because there are very few notebooks around there that has much advanced BIOS. Sadly, I didn't have this BIOS option. This is one of the reasons I hate ***ing notebooks. Very, very limited freedom comparing to desktops. I guess I have to live with that.
