    Why do I have 2 boot option in the boot manager?


    Recently my laptop had an issue and its still recurring. When I boot up it says "preparing automatic repair" and after its done I click continue to windows 10, it reboots again back to "preparing automatic repair". So I'm somewhat stuck in that loop.I've tried almost every solution I could find on the internet. Also none of the options work. Here is a video representation of what I'm dealing with.However, I found a way to boot it up normally. I could open up the boot manager and choose the second boot option. Then I went into bios and put the second boot option as my priority and now I can reb

    Re: All boot options are tried...

    Hi Elda,

    If the boot sequence didn't work, then we suggest try running the laptop in safe mode. To do this, here's a few steps to follow:

    • Power down your laptop.
    • Turn it back on again.
    • When you turn it back on, press F8 repeatedly until the power on option appeared.
    • If you see the boot option "Safe Mode with Networking", choose that option.
    • See if you can boot up in Safe mode.

    We'll look forward to your response.

  3. Problem with Master Boot Record / Windows Boot Manager

    Hi Ver0s,

    My name is Erik. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    Kindly try to change system properties to enable or disable Windows Boot Manager. Here are the steps for you.if this will not work go to CMD

    Step 1: Open the Run dialog window by pressing Win plus R keys.

    Step 2: Type sysdm.cpl and click OK to continue.

    Step 3: When the System Properties window pops up, choose the Advanced option. Then click on the Settings under the Startup and Recovery option.

    Step 4: In the pop-up window, select the Time to display list of operating systems box and set the time value. After that, click OK to save the changes.

    Step 5: If you want to disable BOOTMGR, cancel Time to display list of operating systems box or set the time value as 0 and click OK to finish the operation.

    2nd Options

    Try to enable/disable Windows boot manager. Used CMD

    Step 1: Type cmd in the search box, and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.

    Step 2: Type the following commands in the Prompt and hit the Enter key after typing each one command.

    bcdedit / set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes

    bcdedit / set {bootmgr} timeout 30

    Tip: The timeout decides the time of the boot manager displayed. You are able to specify the timeout value in seconds based on your requirement.

    Step 3: If you want to disable Windows Boot Manager, you need to type bcdedit / set {bootmgr} timeout 0 and hit Enter.

    Please let me know if you have any further concerns.

    Regards,

    Erik

    Windows boot manager

    There could be some system conflict triggered after the said changes. To help you with your concern, we suggest that you perform a clean boot. A
    clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This will help to determine what is causing the issue on the Windows boot manager. To do this, click on this
    link and scroll down to the
    How to determine what is causing the problem by performing a clean boot section then follow the steps listed..

    Note: If the installation is successful and the issue has been resolved. Please go through the section “How to reset the computer to start as usual” to reset your computer to the normal startup.

    Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.
