Windows 10: Windows Boot Manager asks me to choose an operating system at startup

HiHoping someone can help. When I start windows I get the following message:choose an operating system to start or press tab to select a tool and then there are 2 choices:Windows 10 setup 32 bitWindows 10 setup 64 bitIf I choose either of them it tries to install windows and doesn’t work. The only way to get to my desktop is to press ESC and then it loads properly. I checked MSCONFIG boot tab and there is only one operating system there. See pics of messages

Choosing an operating system on Startup of Pc

Hi

Thanks for all the previous advice to cure the above problem but still it persists.

When I start the pc I get the option to choose an operating system with a 30 sec countdown where it then selects windows 10 (default) by itself.

This has now been happening for about 2 weeks and previously just booted straight to windows 10.

I would have thought there must be a way to return the pc to just boot to windows 10 as it did previously.

As mentioned all the suggestions previous have come back all ok with no faults.

Unfortunately the most recent advice below wont let me do it as it tells me I have to add a value of between

3 and 999. Also the Pc is already set to windows 10 as default.

Again would be grateful for help or advice

Thanks

Eddie

Hi Eddie,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft community.

We understand your concern and will certainly assist you to solve it.

The issue you face normally happens if someone had a old operating system and used it to upgrade to a newer version of it or completely install a new Operating system. Hence, follow the below steps to troubleshoot the issue.

1. Please press Windows key and R key and open the run dialog box.

2. In the Run dialog box, please type “msconfig”.

3. Enter the credentials (if needed), and there in the system configuration window, please select the
boot tab.

4. There, you will get the different Operating systems
installed in your computer.

5. Select the Operating system that you are currently using and select “set as default” option and then select the Timeout as “0” seconds.

5. Select Apply and Ok.

Please let us know if the issue got resolved or you need any further assistance.

Would again be grateful for advice

Thanks

Eddie

 

Windows boot manager

Hi Robert,

Windows boot manager may show upon startup if there are other entries present in
msconfig or if there are other operating systems installed on your computer. To isolate your concern, we'd like to ask the following:

• Have you installed any other Operating Systems on your computer?
  
• Have you made any changes to the computer prior to this issue?
  
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

We look forward to your response.
