Solved Logon Screen Changes - Can it affect loadtimes/stability?

[Br4nd3n]

Hello! I have a quick question that may be a controversial topic, not entirely sure.

If you change your logon screen background with or without a program can it affect system stability/boot/load times? I understand the 256kb limit Microsoft implements into the logon screen background ensures proper boot times, but does any program out there actually compress a photo into that limit when switching your logon screen background?

Hello Br4nd3n, welcome to Seven Forums!



Have a look at the excellent app at the link below, I use it myself without issue.

With this program you do not notice any issues at all?

None what-so-ever.

I'm using it currently and it seems to be doing the job, thanks a lot for the help! I self-benchmarked my boot/load times with it on default and changed and didn't notice any differences.
