How to disable Windows Boot Manager screen while turning on Windows 10

Aleksandar Todorovic 5

Hello, whenever I turn on my laptop, a black screen with text appears. The title is Windows Boot Manager and it says that I have two options to boot from:

Windows 10
Windows Startup

Now, I always choose Windows 10 and frankly do not even know what Windows Startup means. I would like to disable this screen and just to immediately start Windows 10. I tried disabling it via command prompt and sysdm.cpl (setting time to display windows boot manager to 0), but none of this seems to work.

Method 1: Using System Configuration (msconfig)

Open System Configuration:
- Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
- Type msconfig and press Enter.
Boot Tab:
- Go to the Boot tab.
- Select Windows 10 as the default operating system if it’s not already selected.
- Check the box that says "Make all boot settings permanent."
- Click Apply and OK.
Restart your computer to see if the change has taken effect.

Method 2: Using Advanced System Settings

Open System Properties:
- Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
- Type sysdm.cpl and press Enter.
Advanced Tab:
- Go to the Advanced tab.
- Under Startup and Recovery, click on Settings.
Startup and Recovery Settings:
- In the System Startup section, select Windows 10 as the default operating system.
- Uncheck the box that says "Time to display list of operating systems" or set the time to 0 seconds.
- Click OK.
Restart your computer to see if the change has taken effect.

Method 3: Using Command Prompt

Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
- Press Win + X and select "Command Prompt (Admin)" or "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".
Set Default OS:
- Type the following command and press Enter bcdedit /default {current}
Set Timeout:
- Type the following command and press Enter: bcdedit /timeout 0
Restart your computer to see if the change has taken effect.

Hello, unfortunately, none of these method works. First method, when I go into Boot tab to set default operating system, there are actually no operating systems to set (just a blank window). Second method does not work, because when I set Time to 0 and click apply and ok, after I again go into Startup and Recovery, Time is automatically reset to 30 seconds. And third method does not work, when I type bcdedit /default {current} this is what is written:

The default entry is not valid as specified.

Run "bcdedit /?" for command line assistance.

The parameter is incorrect.

Open Command Prompt as Administrator:

Press Win + X and select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin).

Run the following command: bcdedit /v This will list all the boot entries with detailed information.

Look for the boot entry corresponding to Windows 10. It should have an identifier like {current}, {default}, or a GUID (a long string enclosed in curly braces).

Once you have identified the correct entry, set it as the default boot entry. Run the following command (replace {identifier} with the actual identifier found in Step 3): bcdedit /default {identifier}

Next, set the boot timeout to 0 seconds: bcdedit /timeout 0

Hello, I have done all the steps successfully and restarted my computer. However, the boot screen manager still appears and it's timeout is 30 seconds. I will put a picture of how it looks.
