I've been trying to get the new graphical boot menu, but the system insists on showing me the old style Windows 7 menu.
What's more I couldn't get into the Advanced Startup stuff which allows System Reset and stuff like that until I did an in-place reinstall (using setup.exe).
I think this started when I used EasyBCD to add a "Safe Mode" boot to the list, but now I can't get it to go back the way it was.
When I open my start menu, it opens on tablet mode. My tablet mode is turned off.What is happening: [URL] ....

However, the website doesn't tell you exactly how to do it.
I'd like to make it look like this: [URL] ...
And it currently looks like this:
Is it possible to add this kind of Control Panel shortcut (like in screenshot below), with subfolder/subitem list, to windows 10, without installing Classic Shell or similar programs?
View 6 RepliesThis has only started happening recently - every few boots, the screen choice between Windows 10 and XP appears with the wrong resolution. The image is small on the screen. If I select Windows 10, the full boot sequence continues with that resolution. However, if I select 'Advanced options' and then 'Continue to Windows 10', the resolution changes to the correct format.
A week or so back, I went back to a previous set point and that seemed to cure the problem. Then it returned.
I've had a problem where I would put my laptop to sleep, and when it wakes up it doesn't save my session; it's basically boots from scratch so when I log in it has to reload all background applications as well as restoring my open applications. I've posted this here because it may be related to the Intel HD Graphics 4400 driver I recently updated (with which I can't roll back, as I just reset the system).

View 2 RepliesMuch as I like the new windows 10, I find if I have a few windows open and overlapped then it's far to easy to close the wrong window. And the reason is that the whole washed out white and no window borders mean one window looks like it's another window when overlapped.
What would be great is if I could get a blue (or whatever) border back on the window so that it'a much easier to see which window is which. Is it possible without any third party stuff?
I don't want to lose my Windows 7 so I have Windows 2000 Full, Vista upgrade, Windows 7 upgrade, Windows 8 upgrade, so I figure I somehow put in Windows 8 upgrade however I get a message saying "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style" I think I know why is because I had the BATA Windows 10 on this disk and I can't delete 2 of the partitions.

View 3 RepliesHow do you set the font style and size in W10 Outlook?
View 1 RepliesIn the last day or two, I noticed that the font size and style on the vast majority of websites that I visit has been changed, and it's not a good change! It looks like Times New Roman now, and though I don't know what the font style was before, I know it wasn't this.
Also, what a typical web font size is, but it seems that the size now is probably somewhere in the 8-10 point range. Nothing has changed in my settings that I'm aware of - at least I'm not the one that made any change. I currently have zoom to 250% which is what is recommended for this Dell XPS 13. That's what it's always been set at, and everything looked fine before. Almost everything from Google, to Facebook - you name it - is displaying this new font style and size.
I'm on Windows 10 32bit and have made a bootable usb Windows 10 64bit using 'Windows 10 media creation tool.
My mother board (ms-7788) originally came with Windows 7 and its own bios. I now can't access the original bios and the uefi gives me no boot from option.
I have Windows on my hard drive and Linux Mint on a USB flash. Normal booting goes straight to Windows with no BIOS popup, because I have grub saved on the USB drive. to load Linux: with Win7 on the HD, on my HP, I hold ESC down until the boot menu pops up, choose the USB, then choose Linux on the grub popup. To reload Win7, all I have to is reboot and it goes straight there.
With Win10 on the HD, I can boot Linux as described. But when I reboot, the Win10 splash comes up but the loading twirly never appears, so Win10 never boots. The only way to get it back is to restore a backup I keep handy.That alone is enough to keep me from switching to 10 permanently, unless one of you knows a trick. And by the way, it's a ten year old HP with BIOS and no UEFI.
i got a new hard drive and installed it few days ago and when i boot up, it asks me every time, which OS i want to boot up. This gets annoying since I only have 1 and I can't find the boot.ini anywhere and websites don't specify how to remove an OS from the boot up screen.
View 2 RepliesI have decided to get ready to remove my pesky 4.88GB Windows 8.1 Partition (partition 5) from my PC because now I have Windows 10 and no longer have the option to go back. I have used a Command in the Elevated Command Prompt to enable the F8 boot menu as a substitute to the manufacturers boot menu (Press Esc.) I know the boot menu by the manufacturer will be removed with the (partition 5) too. I have also found that the WinRE is on a different partition (partition 4), and so my question is... If I delete the manufacturers partition (p 5), will the F8 menu also be gone as well? It seems the F8 menu was put there by windows and not the manufacturer, but is it on partition 5 or is it on the same one as the WinRE partition (p 4)?
View 8 RepliesI have a Gateway/Acer computer and have not found how to access my boot menu in Windows 10.
I want to disable Secure Boot and then do a Clean Install of windows 10.
I recently (clean) installed Windows 10 on a new SSD. Windows 7 resides on my first drive.
1) I first set the USB to boot from;
2) Began to install Windows 10;
3) First snare: upon first reboot, after removing the USB, the system just started my old Windows 7 (!). (I expected a dual boot menu there.)
4) Rebooted, set SSD to first disk, and finished installing Windows 10;
5); Tried to add boot menu later (both in Windows 7 and Windows 10), using the Advanced System Settings, to no avail: neither OS sees another boot partition.
How can I open the Boot menu? The F8 key does not function. Neither does the F1 F2 for Bios

I bought my laptop some 2 months ago and reset it a month ago cause of some minor problem. After the reset it was working pretty good and i downloaded games and other stuff. THen yesterday night i realised that after my built in Toshiba service apps had been uninstalled after the reset, so went download and install them from the official site and the suitable versions. I think i download too many of them at the same time and installed, so after 5 minutes it got hung. I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del. After that the screen went black and i hit the power button to shut down. Then after that switched it on and there it said under toshiba logo that automatic repair was taking place and diagonising your pc, and took me directly to that bue Boot Menu. There i tried stuffs like restart, turn off and ultimately came to resetting giving up the rest. When i pressed reset it look good till 36% then after that it said "There was a problem Resetting your PC".
After this i went to this site- [URL].... And did only Method 1 cause for doing method 2 I cant get into my windows.
I cannot get to the advanced boot options menu that I could with windows 7 by hitting the f8 key. You know the menu that has safe mode with Command prompt safe mode with network support startup repair and Just regular safe mode. Use some of those features but I can't get to them the f8 does not work anymore.
View 1 RepliesI have only win10 installed, and one system drive. By accident I boot from win8 dvd, and now win8 appears in boot menu. I tried to remove it in msconfig, deleted and rebooted, but it reappears.
Also I tried to add safemode options to boot menu, I followed tutorial and used command prompt and bcdedit, safemode option appears in boot menu but it doesnt work, it only reset my machine and boot to win10, it doesn't go to safemode. This is how bootmenu look, but only win10 works.
How to remove all other items except win10, for good?
msconfig dont work as they reappear.
How to add safemode item, so it can really work?
That's what I see on booting. I want to see the legacy screen.
This is my BCDfile:
Code:
Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=C:
description Windows Boot Manager
locale en-GB
inherit {globalsettings}
[code]...
All relevant OS sections Windows 10, WinXToGo, and Windows 8.1 have bootmenupolicy Legacy included Bootim.exe appears 2x in the registry only.
What do I need to do to fix it and for it to stay fixed!
Upon starting windows (10) I'm constantly being shown the boot manager and the only OS I can choose from is windows 7. I am using W10 having upgraded from W7. Windows still boots but the startup times vary from 15sec to around 3min.
Here is a screenshot of my boot tab in msconfig and a screenshot of mt disc management screen.
