Windows 10: Bootmenupolicy Ignored After Shut Down

My BCD is configured as follows:

However, after I Shut Down and then power on the system again, I get the Metro boot menu. The Metro boot menu is butt ugly and also causes a second POST cycle when I switch to Ubuntu.

Any idea how to correct this behavior?

UPDATE: I find that if I Shut Down from Ubuntu, I get the Legacy boot menu after power on. It is only when I Shut Down from Windows that I get the Metro boot menu.

Shutdown

Since the last update of Windows 10 on my computer it will not shut down. I get the message about the task manager shutting down background files but it times out and returns to the logged in window. Is this a simple fix or what? I keep clicking the shut
down anyway to ignore the problem and shut down.

 

No notifications when screen times out

Ya, to many model numbers, sorry about that.

Certainly not a feature.

I would do a soft reset, no data is lost, like pulling the battery

Hold the volume down button and power button down until the phone vibrates, about 10 sec. Ignore the slide down to turn off, release after it vibrates. The phone shuts down and restarts.

 

Hello Clayton, *Smile

As a test, turn off Fast Startup and restart to see if that may be the issue. If so, and once you have it working, you may be able to turn on Fast Startup again to have it still working.

Sometimes the hiberfil.sys for Fast Startup doesn't get updated.

that command tells BCD to use Black and white non metro boot menu..

(displaybootmenu NO) displays Metro Boot Tiles Screen

that command tell BCD to show advanced options menu, (F8 menu)
Which is fine and known as working as you wish for non metro boot menu screen

so I would assume this is the cause...

if you reboot into windows and reboot into windows - the metro screen show ??
or does it show after a reboot from grubmbr ??

 

I followed Brink's suggestion and turned Fast Startup off. After several tests, the problem seems to be corrected. However, if I turn Fast Startup on again, the problem returns. No worries though. I don't observe that Fast Startup is actually any faster.

Many thanks Brink, you've saved the day yet again!

 

Great news. *Party

It wouldn't hurt to also check what Jimmy (Kyhi) posted above to make sure they are set for the boot menu you wanted.

Based on Kyhi's suggestions, I changed bootmenupolicy back to standard (leaving displaybootmenu as yes). Non-GUI boot manager is still displayed. Further testing proves that it is indeed Fast Startup that is causing the GUI boot manager to be displayed after Shut Down.

 

It was worth a try though. *Smile
