Screen defect - Win7PE 64-bit on pure UEFI PC


reboot12

Recommended Posts

  • I built ISO image Win7 PE SP1 64-bit from this builder: Win7PE_SE_2021-05-04.zip
  • With Rufus I made a 16GB FAT32 pendrive in MBR partition scheme for UEFI (with GPT it is the same)
  • I replaced loader UEFI on UefiSeven in the efi\boot folder - I deleted all files and copied these 3:
    bootx64.efi

    bootx64.original.efi (renamed bootmgfw.efi from Win7 SP1 64-bit Ultimate)
    UefiSeven.ini
  • I boot a PC from this pendrive in pure UEFI mode (CSM disabled) and I have such a screen defect - photos taken with a digital camera:

    And this is what the screen shot looks like with the Print Screen key and pasted to the Paint and saved to .png file:

And now an interesting thing!

If I replace the sources\boot.wim file with KB3AIK_PL.iso\WinPE.cab\F3_WINPE.WIM and rename to boot.wim, there is no screen defect :o :

The boot.wim file from KBAIK is based on Win7 SP0 but I also built Win7 PE SP0 and there is the same problem.

The same graphic driver is used in both boot.wim files: vga.sys 5.2.3790.1830 (VgaSave service)

boot.wim from Win7 PE - screen defect
boot.wim from KBAIK - screen OK

Why? What could be the reason? :unsure:

But which settings do you have for the video driver (resolution, number of colours, frequency, etc.)?

I use the default settings.

I tested the same WinPE also in legacy BIOS mode and there is no problem. The problem is only with pure UEFI.

You running in 8-bit color mode instead of 32-bit.

Screen resolution is changed booting Win7PE_SE. I guess it's done by PECMD.exe.
Click on the PECMD systray icon, maybe you have an option to set it back to 32-bit.

@JFX

WinPE works in 1024x768 32-bit and it cannot be changed.

The 8-bit image (256 colors) looks completely different:

And once again, for comparison, the screen with a defect looks:
