    UEFI boot -- get rid of loads of OS'es (about 7) on boot menu


    Well, Every entry on the multiple boot menu, by deleting an entry from BCD or rebuild the BCD should remove the orphan entries and UEFI firmware should reflect what's in the BCD. If for some reason it doesn't then next step is to download Easy UEFI:
    Manage EFI/UEFI boot options & Manage EFI System Partitions & Fix EFI/UEFI boot issues the easy way!

    Run and delete all the entries except Windows Boot Manager. This will update the NVRAM.

    Hi folks

    Thanks for your input

    I fixed it by booting UBUNTU from an external USB SSD and ran efibootmgr.

    Re-installed Windows (which I was going to do at some point anyway).

    Now it's fine with just Windows and the EFI command shell options on boot - standard stuff + network boot if I want to use that.

    Marking solved as now

    Note : I don't know why so many people say Linux destroys Windows boot -- shouldn't - never has with me although I have had in the past when booting windows the BCD boot comes up with choose OS. Not an issue here though.

    Cheers

    Small question about OS'es...: I'm just wondering, could I put (for example!!) Ubuntu on my PC on another (seperate) HD and leave Windows on the main HD? (so no dualboot) How would I achieve this? 179182

    Add UEFI entries to boot menu: I was wondering if there is any way to add a UEFI option to the bootmgr menu.
