Solved Windows boot manager under UEFI
I have set up a dual UEFI boot with windows 7 and WDP every thing is working as it should be but I have one question about the Boot manager.
When I boot my system WDP boots automatically until it is just before the logon screen, at this point I get the Boot manager coming up with the choice of operating system. This is ok If I want to use WDP which is the primary system but it is annoying if I want to select Windows 7.
Selecting Windows 7 causes the system to reboot and start in Windows 7. This is even more annoying if I am using WDP and want to switch to Windows 7 as I have to reboot to the Boot screen and then reboot again to Windows 7.
Does anyone know if it is possible to make a change to the boot manager so that it comes up before WDP boots?
If I was to change to the Windows 7 boot manager would it work the same as WDP? (assuming the Windows 7 Boot manager will see WDP)

What exactly should this do? bearing in mind I want WDP as the default windows
Windows 8 boot manager works this way with or without a uEFI BIOS.
If you change to the Windows 7 boot manager this tutorial will NOT WORK.

I am not sure I follow this either as I do not want to delete WDP. Just change when the Boot manager appears or if I cannot do this then switch to the Windows 7 Boot manager assuming that it will work with WDP and appear early on in the boot process.

At this time you have two independent boot loaders.

Having the same problem Pooch. Very annoying to have to reboot to get into 7.
I now have windows 7 Boot manager with 7 as default OS how do I change it to 7 Boot manager with WDP as default OS, without it switching back to the WDP Boot loader?

Yes I know what you mean, its just the timing of WDP manager that is annoying I think I will stay with the 7 boot manager for the time being at least I still have the option to go back again.
Thank you all for your help

Hiya Pooch,
You can give this a go.
Just select the drive of the Windows partition whose bootmgr you want to use, then click Apply.
E.g if you want to use win7 boot mgr - and win7 is on C , then select C and click Apply.
See if that does it for you.

Thank you SIW2
To confirm that I understand what it does. It saves me typing MSConfig and selecting the Boot manager.
This would have been a neat answer, it works nicely under Windows 7 but does not work under WDP so I can only do a quick change one way
Get it to work under WDP and it will be a great little tool
It would be even better if I could choose the drive without having to press save before reboot
