My computer actually has two duplicate systems?

Question

When I entered BIOS to set the boot order, I found that there were actually two identical systems, I originally wanted to set a solid state drive and an HDD which as the boot hard disk, but found that the boot options actually had two identical things. Later, I pressed the F11 key to choose whether the hard disk boot or the U disk when booting and found that there were still two systems, and as a result, both could boot and the system that started was the same win11.

Hi,

If you are seeing two identical boot options in your BIOS boot menu and both of them lead to the same Windows 11 operating system, it's possible that you have a duplicate boot entry in your system's boot configuration. This can happen for various reasons, such as multiple Windows installations on different drives or partitions.

Remove Duplicate Boot Entries:

If you find that there are indeed duplicate boot entries for the same Windows 11 installation, you can remove one of them using the following steps:

In the Command Prompt, type the following command to view the current boot entries:

  bcdedit

Look for duplicate entries in the list. You'll see entries like "Windows Boot Manager" and "Windows Boot Loader" with unique identifiers (GUIDs). Identify the duplicate entry you want to remove.

To remove a duplicate entry, use the following command, replacing {GUID} with the actual GUID of the duplicate entry:

  bcdedit /delete {GUID}
