Hackbgrt-1.5.1 Verified Jun 2026

Whether you are polishing a high-end Hackintosh build, personalizing your Windows gaming rig, or simply tired of staring at a pixelated dinosaur logo from your motherboard vendor, delivers a simple, effective solution.

: Automatically opens Microsoft Paint (or your default editor) during setup to let you paste and save your custom image instantly. Safe Backups

To appreciate what HackBGRT 1.5.1 achieves, it is important to understand the handoff between firmware and your operating system.

Troubleshooting checklist

HackBGRT-1.5.1 works by inserting a lightweight EFI application into your system's boot sequence. Your image (in 24-bit BMP format) is saved to the EFI System Partition (ESP). Then, the boot process is slightly redirected: when your computer starts, HackBGRT runs first, quickly displays your custom image, and then hands control back to the normal Windows boot loader. This clever technique allows for customization without permanently modifying the UEFI firmware, making the process safer and reversible.

Your computer must use UEFI, not the older Legacy BIOS.

: Instead of modifying the Windows kernel, HackBGRT functions as a UEFI application that interacts with the Boot Graphics Resource Table (BGRT) before the operating system loads. Technical Overview Hackbgrt-1.5.1

If you're into PC customization, this UEFI tool is a must-have. Version 1.5.1 remains a go-to for its reliability in changing the standard startup logo to any custom BMP image. How it works: Disable Secure Boot. Paste your new logo in the Paint window that pops up. Reboot and enjoy!

Resolves a historic crash present in 1.5.0 that broke shortcuts to the hardware BIOS menu.

Unlike older tools that patched system files, HackBGRT works by injecting a custom driver into the UEFI boot sequence. Whether you are polishing a high-end Hackintosh build,

A command prompt window will open. Press to begin the installation. Choose Your Logo

If Windows updates or UEFI updates restore the original logo, you may need to run the setup.exe again.

When you restart your computer, the customized boot application loads before Windows starts, reads your configuration and image file, and then overwrites the BGRT in memory to display your custom logo instead of the original one. After that, it hands off control to the normal Windows boot manager ( bootmgfw.efi ) so the rest of the startup process proceeds as usual. Troubleshooting checklist HackBGRT-1
