I was asked to purchase a laptop with a 17" screen for a customer who owns a restaurant, so I bought an ASUS ROG G750JM. It's a very capable laptop and has nice features and build quality.
However, when it boots up there's a less-than-professional looking "Republic of Gamers" screen that displays while Windows 10 is being loaded.
I thought this branding was in the EFI partition, so I actually nuked the partition and re-built it using a stock Windows 10 Enterprise install USB. But the branding is still there!
Where is this branding stored, and how can I get rid of it? Is it tied to a secure boot key or something else stored in the BIOS?
Edit: Thanks to all who tried to help, it pointed me in the right direction.
To disable the ROG branding on the ASUS G750JM, one must disable secure boot and enable CSM. The fast boot option has no effect on the ROG splash screen while secure boot is enabled, but secure boot is disabled once CSM is enabled (the option disappears altogether).
I will be leaving secure boot on as I think it will be more important to protect against malware than to get rid of the splash screen - if anyone else has an idea as to what to do (flash new UEFI keys, etc.) Please leave a solution below.
