    Fyi if someone had physical access / administration access due to another vulnerability to your machine they can exploit it, news at 11:00

        More like reflashing entirely or just changing the image. Alternatively, you can often disable showing the.logo somewhere in the settings.

        What’s known as resetting bios is more like removing the stuff saved in CMOS, AFAIK

            I think so, but there can probably be some vendor-specific differences, like storing the image in a place that doesn’t get overwritten. 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

          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?
