Delete Linux boot options from Advanced Startup
A few months ago, I dual boot my PC with Ubuntu Linux. How can I remove this boot menu from advanced startup menu?

You can remove boot entries using the bcdedit command from Command Prompt.
Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
Right-click the Start button and select "Windows Terminal (Admin)" or "Command Prompt (Admin)."
View Current Boot Entries:
Enter the following command to view all boot entries:
bcdedit /enum
Look for the entries that correspond to Ubuntu. They usually have a description containing "Ubuntu" or similar.Delete the Linux Boot Entry:
Note the identifier (a long string of characters, e.g., {bootmgr} or something similar) of the Ubuntu entry you want to delete.
Run the following command, replacing <identifier> with the one you noted:
bcdedit /delete <identifier>Confirm Deletion:
Run bcdedit /enum again to ensure that the Ubuntu entry has been removed.
