Windows 10: How to disable Windows Boot Manager

Some time back I installed Windows Boot Manager so I could choose which of two Windows 10 installations on separate physical drives to boot up.That facility is no longer required.Advice on how to delete/stop/disable Windows Boot Manager will be appreciated.

Windows boot manager

Since performing a clean boot was not able to address the issue, we suggest that you disable your antivirus temporarily. This is to check if the program is causing the Windows boot manager issue. To do this, please follow the steps below:

• Locate your antivirus program's icon on the right portion of the Taskbar.
  
• Once the antivirus program has been located, right-click on the icon and select
  Disable, Stop or something similar.
  
• If you were not able to do this on the Taskbar, you may need to open the program and disable it using the program's menu.
• Try to check again if the issue persists after disabling the antivirus program.
  

If you're not getting the same issue with Windows boot manager after disabling the antivirus program, you may need to contact the program's support directly for further assistance.

NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should
re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
