The new Windows 10X features a different boot logo animation that can be enabled in any edition of Windows 10 by editing the registry or downloading our registry files.

The current boot logo animation is a collection of dots spinning in a circle. The new animation is three rounded lines spinning. It's not a big difference, but we figured some people would welcome the change. Check out our video to see the difference.

Video tutorial:

Windows 10 build 19587 or newer is required.

Download Enable Windows 10X Boot Logo Animation and extract the two files.

Double-click 'Enable Windows 10X boot logo.reg' or 'Disable Windows 10X boot logo.reg' (Default).

Click Yes when prompted by User Account Control.
Click Yes when prompted by Registry Editor.

Click OK when prompted by the Registry Editor.

This tweak is included as part of MajorGeeks Windows Tweaks.

Advanced users can edit the registry themselves.

Open Registry Editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Control.

Create a new Key under Control named BootControl.

Right-click on BootControl and create a new DWORD (320bit Value) named BootProgressAnimation

A Value data of 1 will enable the new boot animation.

Delete BootProgressAnimation to restore the default boot animation.
