Win10/Win11 Metro bootloader is always activated at first power on

Hi Cyrus,

The entries look ok. Maybe renaming the BCD via WinRE and rebuilding it is worth a try. To backup the BCD beforehand, please run:

bcdedit /export C:\BCD.bak

Hi Ramesh,

Here you go, sorry my system is in Chinese, therefore it contains some Chinese charactors, hopefully it would not a big deal for you... thank you very much for your great help!

Hi Cyrus,

Please run "bcdedit /enum all" and post the output. Let's see if I can find something.

Hi Ramesh,

Thank you so much for your help! I would say the problem is somehow solved ;-)

Actually I have 2 UEFI bootloaders, one from Win 10 + one from Win 11, after I set the boot menu policy to legacy:

• boot via Win 11 UEFI, works perfect to have classic Windows Boot Manager for both fresh power on / restart
• boot via Win 10 UEFI, the behavior is the same, fresh power on => Metro; restart => Windows Boot Manager

As compared there is not difference for these 2 bcdedit settings / outputs, I also tried different setting combination for the Win 10 UEFI, e.g.:

1. Win 10 default system, bcdedit {default} legacy, {current} legacy
2. Win 11 defualt system, bcdeidt {default} standard, {current} legacy

But the issue was reproduced... so do you have any clue about that?

Thank you + good day!

BRs,

Cyrus

Hi Cyrus, This is Ramesh.

Please see if setting the boot menu policy to "legacy" helps. See Option 2 in this link:
