Solved Boot Menu is Always Shown During Bootup

So I may have touched some boot configurations before, I kind of forgot, I thought it was a good idea to always have the boot menu show up then. I was wrong, it was terrible. As it doesn't boot in to the system automatically, no countdowns were present.

I'm trying to get rid of this issue, and I'm having a really hard time doing so.

At first, I checked bcdedit, after Googling around, I thought maybe if I delete the entry "showbootmenu" in bootmgr it would solve the issue. Apparently not, it's still there.

I had my bootmenupolicy set to Legacy, but even if I set it to standard, it still does the same thing.

I tried using Easy BCD to reset my entire bcd, that led me to the point where I had to recover my boot partition.

Tried setting msconfig to "Normal startup", it just keeps going back to "Selective startup" with everything checked.

So yeah, I have no idea how to solve this, if anyone could help that'd be great.
The following attachment is the BCD settings I currently have.

First, your bcd.txt is incomplete. From Admin command prompt, type: bcdedit /v /enum all
will give more detailed info.

Second, try to open msconfig and look in the boot tab and check if you have multiple entries in there. You should only have one entry on the list as shown in the screen shot:

Updated, and msconfig appears to be normal.

Yes the bcd.txt does look normal to me. We can try the Visual BCD to see if it can fix the problem:
Download Visual BCD

NOTE: If you are running Windows 64 bit, you'll get an error message pop up, just ignore it. Go thru the menu first and make a backup of the BCD first before attempt to do any repair.

Good Luck. !!!

Oh thank gosh, this worked!
EasyBCD broke my BCD configuration before, this didn't. No more boot menu, finally, that was annoying.

Thanks! And now I know that such thing exists.

Good to hear !!!
BTW, do me a favor: Please re-run bcdedit /v /enum all again and attach it. I would like to take a look to see what got changed.
Thanks.

I can see the differences:
From the Boot Manager, it took out 2 entries:
  1. integrityservices Enable
  2. displaybootmenu No
In addition, it re-created the Windows Bootloader for Windows 8.1 with new identifier

Thank you for reporting back !!!

Well, I added that displaybootmenu no back, so that shouldn't be the cause.

I think it's the new identifier somehow.
