    How to Enable or Disable the Boot Log in Windows


    In Windows, you can enable the boot log that includes a list of loaded and unloaded drivers during the boot process. This information can be useful when you are trying to troubleshoot related issues.

    The boot log is saved to the C:\Windows\ntbtlog.txt file.

    This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the boot log in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.

    You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to enable or disable the boot log.


    CONTENTS:
    • Option One: To Enable or Disable Boot Log in System Configuration (msconfig)
    • Option Two: To Enable or Disable Boot Log in Command Prompt

    EXAMPLE: Boot log (ntbtlog.txt)

    2. Click/tap on the Boot tab in System Configuration, check or uncheck (default) the Boot log box in Boot options for what you want, and click/tap on OK. (see screenshot below)

    OPTION TWO [/i] To Enable or Disable Boot Log in Command Prompt
    1. Open an command prompt at boot.

    2. Type bcdedit in the command prompt, and press Enter. (see screenshot below)

    *note Look for the OS (ex: "Windows 10") to the right of the description entry you want to enable or disable the boot log for.

    Look to the right of the bootlog entry for this OS (ex: "Windows 10") to see if it is currently enabled (Yes) or disabled (No).

    Make note of the identifier (ex: "{current}") for this OS (ex: "Windows 10"). You will need it for the command in step 3 below.

    3. Enter the command below you want to use into the command prompt, and press Enter. (see screenshots below)
    (Enable boot log)
    *Arrow bcdedit /set {identifier} bootlog Yes


    (Disable boot log - default)
    *Arrow bcdedit /set {identifier} bootlog No

    *note Substitute {identifier} in the commands above with the actual identifier (ex: "{current}") from step 2 above.

    For example:

    bcdedit /set {current} bootlog Yes

    OR

    bcdedit /set {current} bootlog No

    4. When finished, you can close the elevated command prompt in Windows, or restart the computer if you used a command prompt at boot.

    That's it,

    Auto logging into disabled account Windows 10

    I was able to fix this by doing the following:

    • Boot up the computer, then kill the power after startup is complete.
    • Do step #1 again. (Two crashes within two minutes after startup will cause Windows to boot into Safe Mode automatically.)
    • You will be forcibly logged in to Safe Mode with the Administrator account.
    • Enable the Administrator account, and setup your normal account as needed.
    • Restart again, you will auto login as the Administrator account (which has now been enabled).
    • Log out of the Admin account, and log in with the normal account.
    • Disable the default Administrator account once again.

    laptop doesnt boot automatically

    This is what happened.

    1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
    2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
    3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
    4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
    5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
    6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

    I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

    Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.

    HyperSLI (Enabling SLI on non-sli motherboards)

    Boot problems

    Hi everyone.

    I've got some problems during instalation. I disabled UAC, passed the first install step, rebooted and completed install. But after consequent reboot Windows detects 'ntoskrnl' or something is corrupted.

    Everything was fine on 'old' windows, but after I made a clean windows installation, everything goes this way.

    Any suggestions?

    How-to enable auto log-on in Windows 7?

    I need the computer to boot and then automatically log into Windows 7.

    The account would automatically log into a standard account (non-admin) with no password.

    However, I also have another account in that same computer (which is an admin account).

    If I was to enable auto log-on into this computer, how would I be able to log into the administrator account that I have later if it skips the log-in screen?
