11Disable Choose an Operating System at Startup Windows 11/10 [Guide]
Windows 10 like the older version of the OS allows the users to dual boot two Windows or Linux OS for productivity and education reason. Irrespective of the reason, the dual boot options is helpful for many.
Upon booting up, Windows may offer you multiple operating systems from which to choose. This may occur because you previously used multiple operating systems or because of a mistake during an operating system upgrade. Previously, Windows used a simple text file to create these boot options; however, the latest Window operating systems require the modification of the bootmgr.dll file. You can either stop the boot loader from displaying a list through Windows’ settings or download a third-party program to delete the entry.
However, after the recent update, many users have reported on the Microsoft Support forum that, since an update, they are stuck with the Choose an operating system prompt every time. Thus, one or both systems in the dual boot configuration won’t boot.

If you encounter the “Choose an operating system” screen every time you start or restart your Windows 11/10 computer, it means you have multiple Windows installations on your system. This screen, also known as the dual boot options menu, appears because Windows wants you to choose which Windows version to boot during startup. This guide will show you how to remove or disable the “Choose an Operating System” screen from appearing in Windows 11/10.
This tutorial will show you how to change the default operating system to run at startup in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
If you have more than on operating system installed on your computer, you will see a boot options menu at startup to Choose an operating system.
The default boot entry is the entry that the boot loader selects when the boot menu time-out expires. You can change the default boot entry to ensure that the operating system you prefer is loaded automatically at startup.
Even if you have formatted your primary hard drives, this screen will still appear as long as Windows detects another Windows OS on other partitions or drives that you did not format. However, you don’t need to format your drive to get rid of the dual boot menu options screen. You can simply remove the old Windows version from the dual boot menu, leaving only your current Windows. This way, there will be no other operating system to choose from, and the “Choose an operating system” screen will be skipped on startup.
