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

I did, but it always come back when i restart

 

The BIOS method works. Next time, disconnecting the main drive is more appropriate. What your friend did is equivalent to dua lboot

Remix is in the UEFI partition and it must be delete or easier disable. Disabling the Remix boot loader does not require any app.

That way, Windows boot manager will be alone and the machine will boot normally

 

please excuse me if this might sound rude (am not!) but can you please give me step-by-step instead of explanations *Tongue ?

What do you mean by "the bios method" ? isn't Bios that old thing that is totally replaced my UEFI ?
this is what mine looks like :




And i went through it all and there is no indication of RemixOs at all.

How ?? using the App recommended above didn't do anything, and using bcdedit /remove with the Remix UDID caused a booting error and windows didn't startup, thankfully i made a backup from bcdedit and re-imported it with command prompt.

Thanks

 

You must go in the BIOS for that under boot order. Remix boot loader will be shown. Set it to disable.

Restart and press the "Delete" key while the system is booting up to enter the BIOS = MSI.

 

mini tool disk wizard free version has an option to repair the mbr or uefi

 

it is not :





and this is what disabling that give :

 

Don't touch Win boot manager. If Remix is not shown then you must repair the UEFI PARTITION = fat32. Going to bed 1AM on east coast.* diskpart is the best for u.

 

You want to use a program such as MiniTool Partition Wizard to delete the existing EFI system partition. Once the existing EFI system partition is deleted, use diskpart to create a new FAT32 partition and bcdboot to put the Windows BCD back on it:

diskpart
select disk 2 <- that's the drive with the EFI system partition according to your screenshot in post #12
create part pri
format fs=fat32 quick
assign letter=t
exit
bcdboot C:\Windows /s T: /f ALL
exit

 

You don't need to use Minitool or diskpart to do this. Just open Admin command prompt and type:
mountvol U: /s
del /f /s /q U:\*.*
bcdboot C:\Windows

Reboot your PC

 

Or you can leave the remixos bootmanager where it is and reset the NVRAM to use MS bootmanager. From elevated cmd (not powershell):

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \efi\microsoft\boot\bootmgfw.efi

This just updates the Boot Manager path shown in your picture on post 12 to the Windows default.






When you install another OS they generally make another sub-directory in /EFI/ and set themselves to be loaded by default.

 

thank you!!

 

AWESOME! I really need to learn more about bcdedit!

 

This method works, but the lx07 one don't. Will post the result later.

 

Actually I don't know much about it.

I have to reset path as I use rEFInd. After every Windows or MacOS upgrade I have to run bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi as both OS try to grab the loader for themselves. No Linux install tries the same trick it seems.

You can set anything really - for example (the mountvol and dir are only to show you the contents - they are not needed):





I found rodsbooks good for EFI. MS documentation is limited (at least I can't find anything decent for bcdedit).

I suggest you open your own thread if you have a different problem.

 

@MikeMecanic
IMHO, the method I gave above will work every time you need to rebuild the EFI System partition which will rebuild everything from scratch, hence will delete all the multiple entries of "Windows Boot Manager" and all the junk left over from RemixOS as shown in post #14.

If you open the Admin Command, copy and paste the 3 commands. It will take less than 2 seconds to complete the task.
