Dual Windows Boot winload.efi error on every restart
Hi. I have dual boot windows 11. One of them always fails to boot after sucessfully booting and then i restart the pc. I get winload.efi error. So i rebuild bcd and all that fixmbr and so on and it works to boot into it, but then i restart my pc and i have winload.efi error again. How do i make it stick?
To fix the winload.efi error permanently, try the following:
Repair the Boot Configuration: Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
Set the Correct Boot Partition: Use bcdedit to set the correct boot loader for the problematic Windows installation:
Type bcdedit to list the boot entries, then use bcdedit /default {ID} to set the correct boot entry.
Disable Fast Startup: Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Change settings that are currently unavailable, and uncheck Turn on fast startup.
This should help the changes stick after restarts.
