Run the Windows XP Boot Screen animation
The boot sequence loops as a visual, so it can remain on screen until you choose to stop it.
Choose a speed
Use Normal for the familiar pace, Fast for a short clip or Slow for a longer scene.
Preview the loader
Watch the blue blocks cross the framed loading area and confirm the layout fits.
Open fullscreen
Press F, double click the preview or select Fullscreen.
Pause or restart
Space pauses the moving blocks. Restart begins the boot animation again from its first position.
Details of the classic boot view
The black field centers the Microsoft Windows XP logo above a compact framed loader. Blue blocks travel horizontally through the loader, while small Microsoft and copyright labels sit near the lower edge.
The recreation focuses on the boot screen itself and does not continue into a desktop, login screen or startup sound.
Nostalgia without emulation
This page does not emulate Windows XP, load an operating system or provide access to old applications. It is a browser animation designed for videos, retro displays and harmless pranks.
Pair it with the Windows XP Blue Screen for a separate stop screen scene. Use Black Screen when only the dark field is needed.
XP boot animation controls
Playback controls change the loader while leaving the logo layout intact.
Pause animation
Freezes the loading blocks at their current point. Space provides the same action.
Restart boot
Returns the moving blocks to the beginning of the loop.
Speed
Changes the animation timing among Fast, Normal and Slow.
Reset
Restores Normal speed and restarts playback.
Important: Windows XP and related marks belong to Microsoft. This independent visual recreation is not an operating system download or Microsoft support tool.
Windows XP Boot Screen questions
Does this boot Windows XP?
No. It only recreates the appearance of the startup screen in a browser.
Can I pause with the keyboard?
Yes. Press Space when a form control is not focused.
Does the animation end at a desktop?
No. The loader loops until you pause, reset or leave the page.
