What's known as resetting bios is more like removing the stuff saved in CMOS, AFAIK permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Nyfure@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Most fastboot options dont show the logo until windows bootloader comes along. Though i am not sure how or why the logo is displayed when windows loads? Is that the same image? Loaded and displayed again or just didnt clear the display? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] binboupan@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Loaded and displayed again, yes.

For example, thinkpads provide a way to supply your own image, and when installing updates after that you're asked if you want to keep it. But yeah, the update should neuter it anyways permalink fedilink source parent
