NT4 style boot screen in Windows 10?

Post by ComboOfWombo »

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is it possible to get a NT4 style boot screen in Windows 10? I feel like it would fit my whole computer setup better than the normal boot screen (if that makes any sense).
Wake me up when Chicago build 34 leaks or something...

As Admin:

Code: Select all

bcdedit /set {default} sos on
This command will do it for default entry. Replace default with boot entry GUID for secondary boot entries.

You have to enter this command in first:

Code: Select all

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
Anyways, it's not an "NT 4" boot screen. It simplify shows all the device drivers being loaded as in safe mode, whereas the NT 4 boot screen was a blue screen with white text that shows the OS and service pack version, the ram, and number of processors.
Pseudo-localized builds are awesome!

Running the first command alone is enough if you're running any leaked/released build up to 7989.
