Boot image restores to windows logo after macOS software update #45

Hi, I am using HackBGRT to change the bootlogo of my Windows Server 2016 installation on my MacBook Pro 2016. Whenever macOS gets a software update, the boot logo in Windows restores back to the default one. I have checked it HackBGRT folder and tried to rerun the tool. The image hasn't changed in HackBGRT... there is a culprit elsewhere.

It's because HackBGRT replaces the default Windows boot loader and the update "fixes" this by restoring the original one. Currently there's no builtin solution for this, but you can create a persistent boot entry for HackBGRT with some other tool, as described in the README / Multi-boot configurations.

Please try the new release which can create a proper EFI boot entry. I can't offer any support with configuring the Mac boot loader, so you need to turn to the Mac community for that. The only other option is to automatically re-enable HackBGRT after each update (setup.exe batch enable-overwrite), which is also now possible although needs to be manually set up.
