How to disable non Hyper-V and Hyper-V choose option on boot

Question

Hello,

I am using Windows 11 on my Asus Vivobook 2021 and I have a Virtual-Box installed with a Ubuntu virtual machine running on it. For some reason, I messed up with Hyper-V settings because the Ubuntu virtual machine was not running on my Virtual-Box. Now, I don't remember what I did in past and every time I boot my PC I see "Choose an operating system" with these two options:

• non Hyper-V
• Hyper-V

Every time I have to choose between these two options before the Automatic choose option will select after 30sec times out.

How can I stop displaying this screen on boot every time?

Here is the screenshot of what I see for better understanding.

Hi @Shriniwas Kulkarni ,

Have you tried disabling HyperV using this powershell command?

Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All

Or here's an article for disabling it for virtualbox using the bcedit commands:

Hello,
do you want to remove the options, or just disable the prompt on startup?
If you just want to disable the prompt, go to Settings - System - About - Advanced System Settings.

On startup and recovery choose Settings...
On the following window choose the option you want as default boot (non Hyper-V / Hyper-V), and clear the checkbox in "Time to Display list of operating systems", or reduce the time it takes to use the default boot entry.

If you want just not hide but completely remove the boot entries, you'll have to use BCDEdit, probably the same tool you used to create the additional entry with Hyper-V disabled so it would allow Virtualbox to run.
