How to stop 'Choose an Operating System' in Windows 10

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

To understand the issue better, I would like to ask you the following questions:

• Do you get Windows 7 listed along with Windows 10 when you get the choices to choose an operating system?
• How did you upgrade to Windows 10? Was it through Windows Updates or by downloading an ISO?
• What is the make and model of your PC?

This issue arises either when you have installed Windows on a dual boot and removed the previous version of Windows or if Windows is not installed properly over existing version.

To check for corruptions,

Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. It will scan your system files and to repair missing or corrupted system files in Windows.
To run the SFC scan, refer to the Microsoft article below.

Since you mentioned that it only shows 1 selection in the Boot section in MSCONFIG, we might have to reinstall Windows.

I would suggest you to reply with the required information. It will help us research more and provide a response.
