Windows 10: Easy way of removing entries from Windows Boot at startup solved

Hi folks
If you want the easy way to remove any extra entries you have in your windows boot menu at startup the easy way is simply

from start menu -->run-->msconfig

then from the popup choose the boot tab

change default or delete etc.

Much easier than mucking around with programs like easybcd etc.

How to remove entry's from startup


Hello all,is there a way to remove entry's from the startup menu? I know you can disable them but i would like to remove entry's to some programs that are not even on my computer but are still listed in the startup menu as disabled. (I like to keep things looking neat)

 

UEFI remove unwanted boot entries from BIOS solved easily


Hi folks
with UEFI if you've installed say some Linux versions and you don't want them any more you might still see these at boot if you go into your BIOS boot menu.

Easy way to fix these i.e remove them

1) Go into command mode (run as administrator)
2) type bcdedit /enum firmware (space between enum and firmware

3)Now you'll see a list

4) To delete entries you don't want
type bcdedit delete identifier where the identifier is shown in your list. Include the sigiddly braces { }

Easy -- job done

If you are worried about this just simply backup the EFI partition with Macrium - you don't need to back up the rest of the system. If boot fails because you deleted wrong entry simply restore the EFI partition (it's only 100MB or so - takes seconds with macrium and works -- I deliberately hosed up an entry to test this --restored partition and system booted fine).

Removing EasyBCD?

Two options:

1) If you're ever going to dual boot again just delete the entry for the other version of windows. Run the easy BCD program and you can manually choose to delete boot entries (and set timer to 0 seconds do there is no delay).

2) If you don't want to dual boot restore the boot loader (as newtekie1 suggested) from your windows dvd. To do this remove easy bcd from your system entirely. When rebooting follow these instructions from M$:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392.


Best of luck.
