Sometimes, the beautiful, elegant, high resolution animated and dynamic
Windows 7 boot screen UI may be changed to or replaced with Windows
Vista boot screen, normally when
user adds a Windows 7 entry in boot menu or accidentally when user attempts to repair the startup menu items with
Windows Vista DVD, specifically Startup Repair. Windows Vista boot screen is a boring black background with low resolution green running
progress bar.The invalid and wrong boot screen for Windows 7 is due to missing locale entry in boot record, which failed to be set when editing or rebuilding the BCD. When locale is not found, Windows
boot loader does not know which boot locale folder to look for the animated bootscreen. Thus, in order to fix the boot screen so that the boot screen can be reverted, restored or reseted back to original animated Windows 7 boot screen, just run one of the following commands in
elevated command prompt with administrator rights:
bcdedit /set {current} locale en-US
or
bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US
Change the en-US to the language version of the installed Windows 7, such as ja-JP, de-DE, es-ES, pt-BR, zh-CN, zh-TW, fr-FR, fi-FI and etc.
Restart the
computer after running the command to see the new boot UI (user
interface) be used again. To check if the locale setting has been entered properly, just run the bceedit command in
command prompt that runs as administrator.
