boot screen
Computer's opening image
The boot screen is the visual display that appears when a computer or device is starting up, typically showing a logo or loading indicator while the operating system initializes.
The company logo flashes on the boot screen before Windows loads.
Users rarely see it unless startup stalls or they're watching for diagnostic messages.
