The second operating system does not boot. How to run a second OS? We remove the window with the choice of Windows. The easy way
If you have two operating systems installed on your computer, then most likely after turning on the computer, a window constantly appears on the monitor where the user is prompted to select the operating system to start.
If we do not select within a few seconds, then the one that is selected is loaded by default. So, if we constantly boot the same system, then we have this window where we need to select the operating system to start and we don’t need it to appear. It takes only our time and makes us do unnecessary actions, and this is every time we start the computer.
In this tutorial, we'll take a look at how to remove a list operating systems that appear when we turn on the computer. Consider the simplest and fastest option.
We remove the list of operating systems in Windows XP.
We right-click on the icon on the desktop " My computer" In the list that appears, select the item " Properties».
In the window that opens, go to the tab " Advanced"And in the item" "click on the button" Options».
In the next window, we uncheck the item "" and click "OK".
Also note the point Operating system loaded by default. The one indicated there, now we will automatically boot after turning on the computer. That is, the system, booted from which we now made changes in order to remove the list of operating systems, will now be constantly loaded, I showed on the example of Windows XP, and now it will load for me, and the list with the choice of OS will not appear.
If we want to remove the list of operating systems, but so that Windows 7 will always automatically boot then we need to boot from it and do the same.
We remove the list of operating systems in Windows 7.
We click on the icon " My computer"Right-click, and go to" Properties».
On the Advanced tab, click the Options button.
And uncheck the Display a list of operating systems”, here you can see that Windows 7 is the default, and now it will boot immediately after turning on the computer, and the list of operating systems will no longer appear during boot, click “OK" to save.
Everything is ready, so we figured out how to remove the list of operating systems at boot. This lesson is over!
For a long time, running from one operating system to another, if there are two of them installed on the computer, will not work. After carefully studying both, sooner or later you will have to choose only one of them - basic, with which the work will be carried out primarily. If for the most part only one Windows system is used, its other versions or editions located on other partitions of the disk, not required to be removed. Of course, provided that the hard disk space is not constrained in size.
The ability to work in the future with other computer systems can be left, but for convenience, simplify the entrance to the main one by removing temporarily unused ones from the boot. In this case, starting the computer will be simplified by automatically loading only the required operating system. Another option to make it easier to get started with the computer is not to remove the boot selection window for all systems, but to set the desired version of Windows as the default boot and reduce the time to select other options in the bootloader window.
How to edit the boot process of multiple operating systems Windows systems installed on one computer - more on that below.
So, we have in our case a computer with installed versions Windows 7 and 8.1. When you turn on the computer, we see the bootloader window with a list of systems to choose from.
Each time you boot your computer, you can get into the desired system by making the appropriate selection. Otherwise, after a certain time - and by default this is 30 seconds- Windows will automatically boot, first on the list. In our case, this Windows 7, since it is the last one installed on the computer, and it is its bootloader, as we see, that meets us after starting the computer.
Well, let's change that. Let's configure the automatic boot of the main system - Windows 8.1. To do this, of course, you need to enter it.
We need a settings section, and in Windows 8.1 you can get to it using the context menu on the button.
In the system window, select Extra options.
You can also get to the settings section in Windows 7 using the context menu, but called on the icon "Computer" in the conductor. Among the commands, you must select .
In Windows 7, also select Extra options.
Further steps in both systems are identical.
In the system properties window that appears, in the tab "Additionally" click the options button in the last section.
Now you can start editing the boot of several systems. Change the default boot Windows from among the options in the drop-down list. In our case, we change the pre-installed Windows 7 to Windows 8.1.
As mentioned, by default the Windows bootloader waits half a minute to allow the user to select an operating system.
If predominantly work is carried out only in one system, it makes no sense to leave half a minute waiting for it to automatically load. Another operating system can not be deprived of the ability to start, but reduce the preset time for selecting boot options. In the display of the list of bootable systems, in our case, set 5 second waiting before automatically booting the Windows 8.1 core system. This time is more than enough to make a choice if you suddenly need to enter Windows 7 sometime.
To completely remove another system from the boot list, you must uncheck the option system list display. In this case, only the system selected for booting by default will boot without any time delays.
If a second operating system is ever needed, it will be possible to enter it by making this option active again.
After making changes, click "OK" at the bottom of this window, as well as at the bottom of the system properties window.
That's it - the operating system boot list has been edited.
Above, we looked at editing the boot of existing operating systems. But often when you start the computer we can see a list of operating systems that are already on the computer No. This is a natural development after the second operating system has been removed by simply formatting the disk partition or destroying it. system files manually, but the entry about the possibility of loading it in the system configuration was not removed. The bootloader may also display the option to launch a non-existent core Windows after the system has been reinstalled. This, by the way, is not the main, but one of the reasons why system engineers advise to implement the so-called clean install Windows - without saving the files of the previous system and formatting the disk partition.
It is better to remove the non-existent operating system from the boot options altogether so that it does not delay the process of starting the main Windows.
In the main system, we call the command . In Windows 8.1, quick access to it is implemented in the context menu on the button.
We need system configuration section. Enter the value in the command field:
We press "OK".
In Windows 7, launching the system configuration window can be easier - by entering a key query in the menu search field.
The system configuration window will appear, go to the tab. We select the record about loading a non-existent system and delete it.
In our case, the download list contained different versions of Windows, and decide on the one to be deleted "Seven" We obviously didn't have a hard time. But if the load list contains entries for two identical Windows versions, in orientation with the one to be removed, descriptions of the systems will help. The Windows we are actually on will be marked as current.
The changes made are saved with the button. After pressing "OK" the system will prompt reboot.
After restarting the computer, we can observe the immediate startup of the main system.

Choosing an operating system when booting a computer is a fairly common situation. How to set up the grub boot menu in linux i already.
In this article, I will explain how to set up system selection at boot on Windows. The OS selection menu may appear for several reasons.
The main and most common reason that the choice of operating system appears at boot is the installation of several systems on one computer.
The second reason why the system boot selection menu may appear is that Windows is not installed correctly. If HDD before installing the system, do not format, and install Windows over the old one, then the system selection menu may appear at boot, although in fact you will only have one Windows installed.
In this case, a non-working menu line can simply be deleted or set as the default working line and remove the system selection at boot.
Choosing an operating system when booting in Windows XP.
In order to get to editing the boot menu, open "My Computer - Properties". This can be done by right-clicking on the “My Computer” icon or using the Win+Pause(Break) hotkeys.
And at the bottom of the window in the “Download and Recovery” section, click “Settings”
And already in this window we select which operating system we need to boot by default.
How to choose the default boot operating system in Windows 7.
In order to select the operating system that is loaded by default in Windows 7, we also go to the properties of the computer. This is done in the same way as in Windows XP, with the mouse or Win+Pause(Break).
Go to the "Advanced" tab, and in the bottom section "Startup and Recovery" click the "Options" button.
Choose which operating system should boot by default.
In order to remove the choice of the operating system when booting the computer, you need to select the system that will boot by default and uncheck the checkbox “Display a list of operating systems”. As a result, the system that you have chosen will immediately boot.
If you installed two Windows operating systems on the same computer, then you will need to edit the system selection menu on the last installed system. If you have Windows XP and Windows 7 installed, then you will need to edit the system boot menu in Windows 7, since you need to install it correctly second and you will have the bootloader installed from it.
When working with Windows, sometimes you have to edit the registry, but in order not to spoil the system, it is best to save copies of the registry so that you can later quickly and safely.
Good luck!

A very useful article for me, just recently I was thinking how to remove such a boot choice on my computer. The fact is that for a long time already, when installing Windows, I accidentally chose to install it on the wrong disk, which I needed, I managed to stop the process, but only after that incident the system thinks that I have several operating systems installed on my computer and when I enter the system always has to choose wasps. Now, thanks to your article, everything has been fixed :). Thanks a lot for the really helpful stuff!

Also, if I may ask a question not to the topic, I wanted to ask you, what is the name of the theme that you have installed on the site? I liked it too, I want one for myself :). Of course if it's not a secret

I recently interrupted 7 on my mother's computer, now there is a choice of axis, i.e. one is the axis itself, the other is the remaining inscription, I just can’t go home to remove it
Guys, I have piggy, I installed 7ku in parallel, for the game
then the disk with 7 was formatted and combined 2 disks into 1in. And the selection window pops up, although the disk was formatted with WTF O_OOn a laptop of types 10, I installed android 5.1, now when loading in the BIOS, the choice is android and at the very bottom of the list of windows. If not selected, after 3 seconds, the default android is loaded. But I wanted to put Windows first in the list by default. All loading is registered in “menu.lst”, which is located in the grub folder. I tried to change places, android refuses to boot. Is there a way to accomplish what you want? (If you try to install android, just in case, have on hand windows disk to restore the download. This sometimes happens, then I restore it first by the command line, then I start the boot recovery)
Good evening! I have a problem in the following: 3 systems of wine 7 are installed, I use it, I’m still figuring out wine 10 and Piggy x64 is needed to work with some programs (it comes with both x86 and x64 that do not run on 7k and 10k) when loading, the 10k menu may start or 7ki, regardless of my desire (or magnetic storms or weather, I don’t know) with the menu boot menu 10ki, choosing a system is not a problem any of the three, but when you start the 7ki menu, when you try to select a system, the computer just hangs and no arrows, no matter what otherwise does not respond only to escape what is the reason? By the way, the Xp configuration menu does not appear added to the boot using EasyBCD. If you tell me what is the possible reason, I will be grateful.
good afternoon, 7ka was originally installed, then 10ka was the last one installed Xp x64, everything is installed on different physical disks, by default it loads 10ka no matter what boot selection menu is, but I can’t understand why the 7ki menu is loaded, then the 10ki menu ( I mean the system selection menu) while in the 10ki menu the system is selected normally, and in the 7ki menu when you try to select the computer hangs ... XP x64 set separately with the rest of the disks turned off so as not to bring down the bootloaders and added to the menu via EasyBCD in the boot menu and 7 and 10 is displayed and XP is not in the configuration menu (msconfig). the display doesn’t bother me much, I’m interested in the possible reason for the 7ki boot menu to freeze and why and what affects the menu selection at startup (I can’t understand what principle the machine chooses one or the other)
Thanks for the answer. I haven't come across anything like this before and that's why I'm curious. And at the expense of a random choice of the system, so it’s not by chance that the system boots up for me, no, I have 10k in the boot by default. I randomly select the system selection menu or 7ki or 10ki (either 10ki tiles or 7ki rows) the reason for this is determined by me and I can’t understand how the options are weather, magnetic storms and the mood of the computer ...
please tell me what to do! I installed 2 operating systems on one disk, first 7ku, and then xp! Only xp starts all the time! I did everything as recommended, but nothing happens! Is it really because I installed 7ku first, and then xp! Thanks in advance !
Hello! The question may be off-topic (from the blonde)! Parents have an old XP, and so when the computer boots up, a choice of operating systems appears.
1.Microsoft windiws xp (slave)
2.Windows (Default) - by default
while which by default simply does not exist
and the funniest thing, as a smart girl, I read on the Internet, I went to “download and restore” there, that's what
“Microsoft windows XP Professional”/fastdetect
Bootloader
timeout=30
multi(0)Disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows=”Microsoft windows XP Professional”/fastdetect
Attention QUESTION: 2.Windows (Default) - by default, how can I remove this muck from the OS selection ???
http://unusual-orders.rf/
I also encountered this problem, but I solved it differently by opening the boot.ini file through the system settings or by the total commander and deleting the unnecessary line, the main thing before deleting is to check which of the lines is “empty” and which one is responsible for loading Windows
