Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming (rev. 1.x): Error "Logo File or BIOS Image is write protected" when trying to use Face Wizard

[markuskuehr03]

Hello People of the Internet! (I want to apologize in advance for any spelling or grammar errors. I am from Germany so I tried my best.)So the problem is that I just can´t use Gigabytes Face Wizard anymore. Every time I try changing the Windows boot image with it, it always says: Logo File or BIOS Image is write protected. I have no Idea where this came from. I mean it worked in the past. The picture itself sure is not write protected so the only thing that is left is the BIOS. But what should I do? I´ve tried using an older BIOS version: Not working. Running the program as Admin: Not working. Using Legacy instead of UEFI: Not working (I actually don´t know why I did that.). I can access the BIOS and even update/use another version of it. So why does it keep saying that it is write protected? Please help me guys. I am running the Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming (rev. 1.x) with the BIOS version F22. A Ryzen 5 1600 and a GTX 1060 + 16GB DDR4 RAM if this helps. Thanks in advance for replying!

Choose "save file" in face wizard app to save the current Gigabyte image.
The image file should be named Picture.jpg

Now take the image you want to use in windows paint, save it as.... Picture.jpg
Try Face Wizard now with that image.

Thanks for the reply. But this method didn´t work.

I´ve actually figured out a method that worked for me. I just changed the image to a .jpg file in Photoshop. It was a .png file before that. It worked for me. .gif files don´t work either, even though you could pick them in the file picker. Where you can´t pick a .png file. If you do the Error will show up. I hope it fixes this problem for everybody who has it.
