logonui.exe of Windows 7

I just made my Windows 10 look nicer with OpenShell, and it worked pretty well. However, I also wanted to replace logonui.exe with Windows 7 one but now I just have a black screen. It was possible in earlier versions of Windows. Here´s how I did it:

I downloaded the Windows 7 logonui.exe, which is definitely legit because I uploaded it myself from a Windows 7 machine, restartet, went into Automatic Repair, renamed the Windows 10 logonui.exe and then pasted the Windows 7 logonui.exe into system32.

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

Don't think it will easily work since it (i think) probably changed in functionality by a huge margin so it can't simply be replaced; by that i mean the loginui has long been replaced and is unlike before, more relient on explorer.exe because of course.

So there´s no way of doing that?

But anyway, this is already way better than normal Windows 10.

It's not possible. You can't use logonui.exe from different releases on other ones, might be due to some changes in the kernel obviously.
