The Windows 10 boot screen is composed of three parts: the Boot Logo (the Windows logo), the Boot Status Indicator (the circle), and the Boot Status Message. The boot status message occurs only when your PC run into problems. And its location is right under the circle.

You can suppress these Windows elements via the Windows Unbranded Boot feature (this feature requires Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Professional, or Windows 10 Education). After suppressing these elements, you will get a totally black boot screen.

Many people may don't like this method. They just want to replace the startup logo with a custom logo. In this case, you should use another tool to modify the Boot Graphics Resource Table (BGRT).

Please note that you can modify the BGRT only on devices that use UEFI as the firmware interface. If your PC uses the BIOS firmware, you can't modify the BGRT.
