Windows 10: UEFI Windows Boot Manager Keeps taking boot priority.

I cloned over to an SSD, and now I can't boot right into windows after a new day boot or restart.

I've changed the priority in the bios, tinkered in MSConfig, and even ran the CMD prompt bcdedit /set {bootmgr} timeout 0

No "Windows Boot Manager" entry of Boot Configuration of UEFI for Surface Pro 4

The only way I'm aware Windows Boot Manager will not set itself first to boot on a UEFI System is if it was installed in CSM or Legacy Mode. You can tell this in Disk Management by the presence of the legacy Active flag on System partition and lack of an
EFI System partition, or type msinfo in Start search to look in System Information at BIOS mode.

Sometimes the settings in the UEFI firmware are sparse and the only determinative for UEFI install is if the installation media is booted as a UEFI device and all partitions deleted down to Unallocated Space to reset if necessary the disk formatting from
MBR to GPT required for UEFI install.

The normal UEFI settings in BIOS are CSM, Legacy BIOS, UEFI, and under Boot Priority order. If you want to report back those settings choices we can help interpret them.

If the Windows Boot Manager was deleted from the list then you may need to Reset UEFI Firmware to Defaults using that choice wherever it appears - check all tabs.

 

Windows 8.1 boot isssue

While we are on the subject... I tried to use a antivirus emergency disk that I made with Sardu. It contains several AV programs on it. I have used this disk on XP, Vista, and Windows 7 with success. This mans laptop would not boot from it so I went into the BIOS and saw that Legacy is disabled by default and that UEFI is enabled. If I remember correctly under UEFI, Boot Manager was listed first then followed by the rom drive. I used the F keys to love the rom drive to the top taking the place of the boot mangers position. The computer still would not boot from the disk. I am new to BIOS with UEFI and wanted to know if I had done this correctly? If not, what would be the correct way to have it boot from emergency disks? Thank you!
