Boot UI Tuner is a lightweight program for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Windows 8 operating system (not Windows RT) that you can use to configure the PC’s boot options. To use the program download it to your system and unpack it afterwards. To run it, select the right sub-folder – 32-bit or 64-bit – and launch the program. It displays a basic interface where you can check and uncheck options in.

The following options are available:

Enable advanced options of boot menu – This, when enabled, displays the Windows 8 advanced boot menu on every start of the system, and not only when you select it in the PC settings.

Enable editing of boot options at startup – This displays a screen where you can type in advanced boot parameters that you want the operating system to use on startup.

Enable Windows logo – Can be used to disable the animated Windows logo on boot.

Enable messages – You can disable system messages here. This includes information about updates, scans and so on. Not recommended.

Enable loading circle – Disable the loading circle animation

Enable legacy boot menu – Lets you boot into the boot menu known from Windows 7 and earlier versions of the operating system.



The program can be useful if you prefer to boot into the old legacy menu on start, if you want the advanced boot options to be displayed on every start of the system, or if you want to make cosmetic changes to the boot process. You can theoretically use the program to quickly enable the advanced boot startup whenever it is needed, and disable it again on next start. The main advantage here is that you can continue working and do not need to restart immediately.
