Windows 10: [SOLVED] I can't get rid of dual boot option after installing RemixOs

Hi,

A friend of mine brought me an old hard disk in which he wanted me to install remix os on, we plugged it in my pc (using a USB adapter), installed Remix Os (choosing hard disk option) then unplugged the disk (he went home, didn't like the OS and ended up formatting the whole disk).
Now whenever i turn on my computer, i get this :


Msconfig-> boot have don't have any trace of RemixOs :



And neither does the Startup and Recovery in Advanced system settings :



what can i do to solve this please ?
thanks

Remove RemixOS from dual boot

Hi,

There are a few methods that can be done to uninstall programs on a Windows device. One of the most common would be using the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs option. To completely uninstall the program, kindly perform these steps:

Method 1:

• Press the Windows button + R on your keyboard.
• Type "appwiz.cpl" and then press the Enter key.
• Search the program that you want to remove by highlighting it, and then click on the Uninstall button.
• After uninstalling the program, restart your computer.

In the event that the program isn't listed on the Application Wizard, then you can perform these steps instead:

Method 2:

1. Right-click on the shortcut launcher.

2. On the drop-down list, click "Properties".

3. On the "General" tab, click on Open File Location button.

4. Once you are on the folder location, look for the program's executable file. Usually, it would be named as "setup.exe" or "Uninstall.exe" or abbreviations like "Uninstll.exe" and such.

5. Run it to uninstall the program.

6. Restart your computer.

7. Check if the program is still present.

Another method that you can perform is the uninstallation of the program by using the Built-in Administrator. To do so, follow these steps:

Method 3:

1. On your keyboard, press the Windows + X button.

2. Click on Command Prompt (Admin).

3. On Command prompt, and type "net user administrator /active:yes"

4. Exit the command prompt and restart your computer.

5. After restarting the computer, perform the same steps stated in Method 2.

Note: The hidden Administrator account has more privileges than a regular administrator account. Privileges that can easily generate a conflict
on your system. We only recommend enabling the built-in Administrator account for troubleshooting purposes and you have to disable it once you are done.

To disable the hidden Administrator account, follow these steps:

• On Search type CMD to open Command Prompt.
  Right click on CMD then choose Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation,
  type the password, or click Yes.
• In the Command Prompt window, type net user administrator /active:no then hit the Enter key.
  
• The administrator account will now be disabled, and shouldn’t show up on the login screen anymore.
  

In the event that the program still exists after performing the troubleshooting methods above, we advise that you contact the support team of the program that you are trying to uninstall. This is for you to be advised of any possible uninstaller that they
have. Uninstallers could wipe clean any system file that is associated to the program.

If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to reply to this thread.

 

You need to repair the boot record do you know if the disk is uefi, gpt, or mbr if in doubt post a screenshot from disk management

 

here :

 

I see a page file on Disk 0 which should not be there unless you put it there, it may have come from the Linux install you did.

I would think EasyBCD could delete the extra boot menu items.

Wait for an expert to confirm *Smile

EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies

 

thank you but that doesn't seems like a free solution isn't ?

 

EasyBCD is free, you just have to register.

 

oh! i totally missed that *Tongue Thanks!

 

Drive c should normally be disk 0 it does work without but far better to have it as 0 swap cables

 

will that fix the dual boot issue ?

 

Hey, i just tried EasyBCD, it does nothing unfortunately, just like Windows 10 tools, it doesn't see the other Boot option at all





Also tried the "Re-create/repair boot files" Action, didn't do anything too.

 

Thatsbecasue its in uefi settings Manage EFI/UEFI boot options & Manage EFI System Partitions & Fix EFI/UEFI boot issues the easy way!

 

Update :

the only "honest" utility xD






So apperantly i have a bootmgr file in the HarddiskVolume6 under \EFI\REMIXOS\BOOTX64.EFI,
the only problem is, that i don't have a 6th Volume !!





I am assuming that is the Hard disk that i plugged through USB ?
is there a way to fix this now ?

thank you

 

The given method in post #11 should work = rebuilt the UEFI boot partition. The easiest way is in the BIOS under boot order.

Disable the efi Remix partition.
