I just installed this windows and no gui boot is unchecked in msconfig and even when fastboot is disabled I can't see the windows logo after dell logo at startup.
I did everything including check/scan files/repair/reinstall video drivers etc and nothing. Is there anything else I can do or do I have to re-install windows? I installed this windows 10(21H1) with usb and I feel it is going to be the same cuz it is a fresh install.
But it still continues to load Windows to the DESKTOP itself? If so, I wouldn't worry about it... :)
If you did a UEFI/GPT install then you will not see the 'blue window' at start up. Instead you'll see the Dell logo. You still see the spinning dots below it to tell you that Windows is loading. You will only see Microsoft's logo on a UEFI system if you did a Legacy/MBR install. This is normal behaviour.
https://www.dell.com/community/Vostr...o/td-p/7359161...that logo is embedded into the UEFI firmware. Systems that boot in UEFI mode show a firmware-level graphic while the OS is loading in the background. This has been true since UEFI systems started appearing over 5 years ago and this is not just for Dell systems; it's industry-wide behavior...
