Windows 10 pops up Windows Boot Manager on startup
After an update, Windows Boot Manager appears on boot. I have to press Esc to enter BIOS and then Esc again to boot into Windows. The hard drive and system are fine. How do I stop it from showing up ...
boot-manager usually pops up if there are more than one OS installed!
Within BIOS, you can tell it: Which hard drive the computer should us for booting.
### If you only run one OS, you can disable the menu entirely:
- Press ```Win + R```, type ```sysdm.cpl```, Enter.
- Go to Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings.
- Uncheck Time to display list of operating systems.
### Use System Configuration (msconfig)
- Press ```Win + R```, type ```msconfig```, and hit Enter.
- Go to the Boot tab.
- Select the OS you actually use.
- Click Set as default.
- Adjust Timeout (e.g., set to 0 or 3 seconds).
