Windows 8, boot time interface, Boot Menu

Hello everyone...

I use a desktop PC with Windows 8 is installed. My Computer Configuration is as given here: RAM: DDR2 4 GB (in a slit), graphics: generic chip Intel GMA 3100, HARD drive: 160 GB [contains System Partition (Windows 8) + Windows 7 on another partition] + 250 GB (two physical environments). Recently, when I start my PC, after the screen of the BIOS, The Windows 8 start interface or in the Start Menu and displays a list of the following operating systems:

(1) Windows 8 Pro with Media Center

(2) Windows 7 Ultimate

and the two list OS shows the same logo of a window application. Previously, it showed:

(1) Windows 8

(2) Windows 7

the operating system Windows 8 logo was the newly adopted Pentagram designed four Rectangle logo , and the logo Windows 7 OS was a logo of a window of the application, in which was written '7' .

This change is normal? Meanwhile, I installed Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 on the system. And I frequently transfer data to my PC by USB to the PC, which may be infected by viruses such as the RECYCLER , etc...

Help, please.

Hi Hugh,.

The name of the operating system on the Windows Boot Manager screen can change if changes are made to the BCD file. If you are not facing any problems on the computer, you can ignore this.

If you want to change the name of an operating system on the default Windows Boot Manager screen, you can follow these steps:

1. start Windows 8

2. press on the Windows key + X

3. click on prompt (Admin)

4. type in Bcdedit and press enter

NOTE: This will allow you to see what the identifier of the system listed in the Boot Manager Windows and description (name) are under the Windows boot loader section. For example, Windows 8 (description) as {current} (identifier).

Example:

Windows 8 is {current}
Windows 7 is {77da19a1-2ae7-11de-a79b-8ffdb0066c6f}<---- (example="">

Type these commands to change the name of operating system.

C:\bcdedit/set {type the number that appears on your computer} description "Windows 7".
C:\bcdedit/set {current} description "Windows 8".

C:\bcdedit<----- to="" check="" the="" descriptions="" after="" your="">

Make sure that your computer is free of infection by the virus. I suggest you run Microsoft Safety Scanner on the computer.

Microsoft Safety Scanner on your computer.

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

 

I hope this helps. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • Spectrum x 360: bios boot menu and boot times

    Serial number (deleted content) product number T1D62EA #ABU

    I'm a bit disappointed by the time which takes about 25 seconds to start. The main delay seems to be the time taken before the HP logo appears. It takes about 5 or 6 seconds until appear a message "press the esc key to access the boot menu", and then another a few seconds before the HP logo. After that, it is very fast.

    Is it possible to start directly on the HP logo?

    Before buying this laptop I buy one from Microsoft Store (decided to change because of the largest SSD hard drive) and this book started in 1.1 seconds. I believe it was a Signature Edition of the spectrum x 360 and there was apparently no bloatware, although I don't know if this affects startup time.

  • Windows Vista start problem, \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe.__Could not load because the app is missing or damaged.

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    You can also make recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are in service again.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • system crashed, I need to select the first boot device in the boot menu...

    my computer crashed and has a black screen I have reboot by pressing F8 and then to the start menu

    What now?  Press and hold f8 at startup takes me the blue screen with 3 options 1) esc = boot menu 2) f10 = set up 3) f11 = system restore.  I don't have a disk to restore the system or boot disk.  What should I do

    +

    Hello, thank you for using the Microsoft forums!

    What happened when you "press f8 and went into the start menu. ?  You should have seen the inscription as:

    'safe mode', "safe mode with networking", "last known good", etc. etc.  In these situations, it depends on what the computer or the user was doing when the computer crashed, what the line of resolution would result. Just from the top, select Safe mode and try to start.  If windows starts, there are probably a problem with drivers not loaded through a secure boot which only loads the windows drivers of base needed for windows open and run in a limited mode. While in safe mode, we will offer you the choice to use the SYSTEM RESTORE to restore your computer to an earlier point in time where everything worked well. In unknown situations, when I'm in front of a computer when you know not what caused the accident, I take a point of restoring older and not the most recent one, preferably a machine made on its own schedule, not a constraint by a device or driver installation. Note that a SafeMode restore is not generally reversible, i.e. canoe must be cancelled at the point before the restoration (in this case, the condition has crashed), yet other points before and after can be subsequently used.

    Once you have done this, or even before, if you would not rather try this again, you can use Event Viewer to try to find out what happened before the crash. Check the system and application logs, for the latest entries and repost here about this if you need help with the content of the newspapers, and we will try to help you. Alternatively, if you get it running, then you can visit this site to help you with additional questions. This is the new, free and fully automated from MICROSOFT support portal, and it can help you with most of the problems windows with a few mouse clicks.

  • Windows 10 boots and stuck on the black screen with high CPU

    Hello

    I have a MBP 15 "mid 2015 16G with AMD R9 M370X i7.

    I've been running bootcamp with Windows 10 installation for about a month now without any problems.  However, yesterday 10 Windows started and has been blocked in a black screen (before any screen logo or connection win) with the CPU works hard and hot.

    1. I tried to restart some time hold button / stop and start with the option key, key and then selecting the windows bootcamp partition but it drove the same black screen with CPU hot work in the background.

    2. I can always start OSX fine during this period.

    3. I tried to leave in the black screen for a good 10 minutes, but it does not change and the MBP gets really hot.

    4. I tried clearing NVRAM with Boot option + command + P + R

    5 I can't in Windows 10 safe mode using F8 or FN + F8 after you select windows to boot manager (starting with the down option).  Am I missing something here?

    I don't have a copy of Installer windows 10 with me right now unless someone can tell me how to create one under OSX.

    I searched on the internet forum and apple, but have not found a solution that works for me.  Many speak of win10 black screen with cursor showing, but my question is just a black screen with no cursor.

    Someone at - it other ideas besides reinstall Windows 10?

    You have a black screen with or without power adapter, both? If 10 Windows does not start correctly three times, it should bring up the recovery console. Windows automatic updates are enabled? You have created/activated Windows system restore points?

  • El Capitan and Windows 10 Boot Camp Assistant

    Hi, this is my first post so apologies if I've left out anything important. Let me know and I'll add the necessary details.

    Fast, I have been using Windows for years and I wanted to get into Apple and finally last month made the leap. I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM El Capitan - 10.11.4 running. However, I am having a lot of problems with the creation and installation of 10 Windows using Boot Camp.

    I had this work with Windows 10 times but made some fundamental mistakes. I resized the partition windows using a windows product so that I could add another partition. This seemed to work and I used it for a short time BUT when I tried to boot into El Capitan would not and that it would only boot Windows. After reading on what I see now that resize the windows from windows under Boot Camp partition is a no-no. lesson learned!

    To actually do things once again, I removed the windows partitions using disk utility. (Again I see now that it is an another no-no that I'd
    used Boot Camp Assistant to remove Windows!) Eventually however, I managed to get to El Capitan, working on the single partition, it is now again works fine and as far as I can tell without any problem.

    After having to go that if I went back to load 10 Windows using Boot Camp. All works until the final start in the section windows it:

    • Creates the separate windows partition
    • Load the ISO file
    • The Windows Support Tools downloads
    • Runs the ISO file and everything looks good... see below: (apologies for the poor quality of the screenshots)

    Then, during 'Finish Up', I get an error window:

    "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows restart installation. »

    I tried many things such as to download the Windows ISO file again, running SNC and LANDAU after removing the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant and ensure that all other connections to the MBP is deleted except WiFi and get always the same message. As the whole process takes a few hours and tried to work through this for some days now, I would really appreciate some advice/help here for this issue very frustrating sorted.

    Thanks in advance

  • Satellite Pro M70-220 - how to start the Advanced Boot Menu

    Which key have to press on my Satellite Pro M70 - 220 starting Win XP, in order to enter the "Advanced Start Menu" - in other words, the menu that gives various boot options, such as safe, last good start Congiguration, start Windows Normal Mode, etc. ?

    On my old laptop Satellite 5105 - S702, it was the F8 key, but by pressing the F8 key on my M70 Pro does not bring up the 'Start Advanced Menu".

    The Advanced Start Menu came on its own a few days previously after an abnormal stop, so it seems that it does not exist on the M70 Pro.

    Thanks for any advice anyone has to offer.

    Hello

    The Advanced Boot Menu can be reached by pressing the F8 key.
    It s a Windows menu basic and it s any laptop it is.
    It should work on all computers.

    I have a C50 Satellite - A - 1 6 originally shipped with Windows 8.1. I had turned off successfully UEFI and start safe to install Windows 7 in boot legacy mode.

    Hello

    If I understand correctly, you have already installed windows, but you cannot access desktop. You can proceed as follows:.

    1 restore factory settings again without creating any password more.
    2 password with caps lock on (or off) shift
    3 you can try to reset the admin password using software called Windows Key Enterprise 9.3 build815 that works with Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT workstations.

    Burn the ISO file on a blank CD/DVD using any CD burning tool. Then restart the PC locked
    with this CD-ROM and follow the on-screen instructions to reset the Windows administrator password.

    Note, don't forget to put the cd/dvd as 1st boot device in the Bios (boot priority)

  • HP Pavilion - "press ESC for Boot Menu" on initialize to top

    Hello

    I have a Pavillion g6 laptop running Windows 7.

    I ran into a problem when booting the computer displays the message "Press the ESC key for startup menu" momentarily, the screen goes black, and this message again.  No HP logo ever, just this message appears.

    I am able to access the HP Boot Menu and I ran across each of the diagnostic tests, and all of them have passed (battery, memory, HARD drive, established and start-up). I also reset the BIOS to its original settings. It is said that there is no update for the BIOS and no versions prior to a restore to.

    I have not installed, changed or deleted in any material.

    I tried to do a hard reset (power remove battery and hold it for 15 seconds). Who did nothing.

    Finally, the Windows recovery option brings back me right of the black screen where it asks to press the ESC key.

    My questions:

    -What are the precise diagnostic tests indicating that the memory, HARD drive and battery are fine? If they pass these tests, it excludes these items as being the problem?

    -What other things could be the cause?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Other information to help diagnose this, let me know.

    Hi Kyledow,

    I read your message. You can try first of all as a result of this document on the boot configuration order. That this would take effect until Windows has started and would not change on the system restore.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00364979

    The diagnostics are very reliable. Make sure you have removed all external USB devices before all the steps.

    Please let me know.

    Thank you.

  • Creating cloud apps on Windows (using Boot Camp on a Macbook) has stopped working

    So here's the situation:

    I've been subscribing to creative cloud (CC) for a few years now and I have the 'apps' installed on Windows (using Boot Camp on my Macbook Pro). Why is it I am running Windows on a Mac? Because for various reasons I ;-)

    A few months ago, I cancelled the subscription but decided to begin to subscribe again. That's when the problems started. Premiere Pro (which is the program I use most often) started to ask forlicensi ng/registration and registration from cc. whenever I started PP I to connect to CC with the result "Thank you for licensing/save...". "or something like that. The other day, I was in a meeting with a client to review changes in a project of PP and suddenly it does not help to to connect to CC. I am stuck in a loop where it says "thank you for the record...". "and then nothing happens. When I click on PP I sign again and so on...

    I called Adobe support and when I told them I'm using Boot Camp on a Mac the first guy said ' it is not supposed to work on Boot Camp or virtual machines and if it works it is probably due to a bug in the software '.


    I google a bit on this subject and can't find anything about supposed to CC to work with Boot Camp. When I was persistent and told them that they really help me because I'm in a hurry and that the customer is frustrated he actually hung. I called support again and this operator says 'We have no instructions on how to help users with problems in Boot Camp'.

    I tried PP uninstall and reinstall, but still get stuck in the Sign-in-loop. Could this something in the registry that I need to change or remove?

    I installed PP on my Mac OS without any problem. The thing is that I guess I can't open old projects created on the installation of Windows of PP.

    Any help on this would be much apprechiated.

    / Thomas

    Looks like the Support of Adobe has solved the problem. I called the third time and this operator is out of the box.

    I had to delete some folders (PCB Adobe, Cache SL, SL Store), and then start any application as administrator (Windows) and log in.

    Sweet!
