  1. My Windows Boot Manager is gone!


    Hi all!I am setting up a dual boot system (Win10 & Ubuntu) in a 2 year old desktop pc.
    I had Windows 10 reinstalled just a couple days ago In my 1 Tb HD.
    Then I installed Ubuntu in my 120 Gb SSD.
    Then Grub was not found, so it would boot straight to Windows 10. Which I was expecting.
    Then I disabled fast startup in Windows 10, I forgot to disable fast boot in UEFI settings. I can't do the latter now because WBM is not available to boot from.
    Then I used bcdedit to set a new entry for Ubuntu: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi (I can't recall where I got it from, but here they have a very similar tutorial[/link]). I had used this trick before and it worked.
    Then I rebooted, but instead of showing me Grub, it was a black screen with two lines of text: Reboot and Select proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in selected device and press any key.
    Then I went in the BIOS, and that's when I no longer saw Windows Boot Manager as an option!
    I booted off from Boot Repair Disk, and supposedly fixed Grub, but I still can't see WBM, and even though I do see Ubuntu in Bios, it still yields the above line of text (Reboot and Select...). But BRD generated a report, here it is.

    Presently, and temporarily, I am only able to boot into Ubuntu or Windows 10 as long as I first boot off from a rEFInd Live USB drive. The rEFInd finds them both and allows me to choose.

    Hopefully the BRD report can help you to see what's going on.
    The way I see it, I need to either remake/repair the MBR for Win10, or have it in the right disk. Something along those lines, I guess.

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    There could be some system conflict triggered after the said changes. To help you with your concern, we suggest that you perform a clean boot. A
    clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This will help to determine what is causing the issue on the Windows boot manager. To do this, click on this
    link and scroll down to the
    How to determine what is causing the problem by performing a clean boot section then follow the steps listed..

    Note: If the installation is successful and the issue has been resolved. Please go through the section “How to reset the computer to start as usual” to reset your computer to the normal startup.

    Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.

    Partition management

    Or at the very least, make sure that your hard drive boot order is correct, because it will take the first writable drive in the boot list to determine where to put the boot loader. As Jester suggested, pop the Windows install disk in, make sure your boot order is correct (or unplug the drive,) and run repair. It's really that simple.
