Displays a Skull on startup......

JimBurns — Sat, 31 Aug 2024 13:56:27 GMT

I just recently purchased this desktop computer on Amazon because my Windows 10 machine can't be upgraded to Win 11. On startup it displays a graphic of a skull which I would like to remove or disable. I would much rather see a blank screen or a Windows logo than this dreadful skull. Is there anyway to get rid of it? I looked in the Bios settings but couldn't see anything there that would do the trick. Anybody? TIA....

What is the model number of your computer?

Jim,
That picture is the default logo that appears during BIOS POST and Windows startup on Intel's Extreme NUC products. It is possible to replace this logo with one of your own. In the system's download page in the Asus Download Center (here: https://www.asus.com/us/supportonly/nuc9i5qnx/helpdesk_download/), select BIOS and Firmware and then download the NUC Firmware Integrator Tool in the BIOS Tool section. This package contains a tool, called iCHLogo, thst you can use to insert your replacement logo.

Hope the helps,

...S
