Windows Boot Trouble

[FireLegend]

Hello!

Ever since I installed windows 11, when I boot up as I had win 10 on my hdd and win 11 on my ssd it always brings me up a prompt saying if I want to boot into windows 10 or 11. In my bios my ssd is the 1st in the boot sequence and is but waits 30 seconds for me to decide which version of windows I want to boot into but automatically after the timer boots into wins 11, luckily! So I was wondering if there's a way to get rid of that prompt and just boot to the first storage device in the boot sequence (my ssd) and always come back to windows 10 when I want to a different way or smthn. Right now my hdd is just being used to store files and pictures.

Many Thanks, Fire!

Steps to disable boot menu prompt:

1. Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type “msconfig” and press Enter.
3. In the System Configuration window, click on the Boot tab.
4. Under Boot options, select your desired OS from the list.
5. Check the “Make all boot settings permanent” option.
6. Click on Apply and then OK.

 

Note: After you do these steps your PC will automatically boot into whatever OS you selected without showing the boot menu prompt. If at any time you need to switch between different OS you can just restart option in win 11 to get to the boot menu.

Most likely the windows bootloader is not installed on your ssd. This will happen if you left your hdd connected when installing windows 11 to your ssd. 

 

The work around is to either use

• bcdedit to reduce the delay to 10 seonnds or less, setting win11 as default
• Or  create a new efi boot partition on your ssd (Instructions: https://www.tenforums.com/installation-upgrade/52837-moving-recreating-efi-partition.html#post698505)

Here are some steps to solve that. Open Admin Command Prompt type: bcdedit /set {current} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures" then press enter. Then restart your PC. This command will disable the boot menu prompt and automatically boot into your preferred OS without showing the boot menu prompt. Let me know if this solves your problem.

I am quite worried now, when it says 'permanent' does this mean I can uncheck this box and it will bring the prompt back up the same it was before this? Sorry but I'm quite confused with this lol

No worries! When you check the “Make all boot settings permanent” option in the System Configuration window, it will save your changes to the boot settings. This means that your PC will automatically boot into whatever OS you selected without showing the boot menu prompt. If you ever want to switch between different OS, you can just restart your PC and use the boot menu to select a different OS.

If you ever want to bring back the prompt, you can simply uncheck the “Make all boot settings permanent” option in the System Configuration window and click on Apply and then OK. This will restore the original boot settings with the prompt.

Alright so...  

I tried doing this and still won't work. When I typed bcdedit /set {current} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures I remember it saying something along the lines of the operation was successful. At that moment I restarted my machine. I went back to msconfig pressed on the Boot tab and it still didn't apply. I restarted my pc ,as it told me to, and still no luck. Got anymore suggestions Sorry dude!

NO problem, Try these steps, If they don't work, let me know and I will do some more research.

1. Try running Command Prompt as an administrator and then type “bcdedit /set {current} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures” again. Then restart your computer and check if it worked.

2. Try disabling fast startup by following these steps:

   • Open Control Panel
   • Click on Power Options
   • Click on Choose what the power buttons do
   • Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable
   • Uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommended)
   • Click on Save changes
   •

Okay I tried all these and yes I had fast startup on and tried the command which ignores the failures with the boot tab but obviously with windows it still won't let me apply it after restarting. Still got another suggestion Cheers!
