# How to hide the Pre-OS bootup screen

## Reboot Restore adds a Pre-OS bootup screen which has a few advanced settings. Some users may want to hide this screen to put Reboot Restore in a stealth mode. 

> Note: once hidden, the Pre-OS bootup screen can still be accessed by hitting the HOME key on your keyboard just after your PC's BIOS initiates.
