📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a boot-screen issue after Windows 7 startup repair or restoring—specifically, when the Windows 7 boot display unexpectedly changes to the default Vista-style progress bar. The main solution offered is to run an admin Command Prompt command to set the current boot locale (e.g., `bcdedit /set {current} locale en-CA`), then reboot, with an alternate fallback command using `bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US`. Overall sentiment is positive and practical, framing the fix as quick and reliably worth trying first one command and then the other if needed.

Sometimes, after using start-up repair, restoring from back, etc, the Windows 7 boot screen may change to the default Vista progress bar..

Fortunately, there is a very easy solution.

Firstly, open Command Prompt as an admin.

Now type bcdedit /set {current} locale en-CA (where en-CA) is your locale, English, Canada for me).

Press enter, reboot.

Sometimes that won't work, so it's always worth trying this too:

bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US
