SOLVED Metro bootloader failing to load

[miket82]

I have a 64bit dual boot system. Win 10 from an SSD disk 0 labelled C drive. Win 7 Enterprise on disk 1 labelled D drive. All MBR so bios set as legacy and disk 0 set as first boot device. Using either msconfig or easybcd 2.4 I cannot get the metro bootloader. Also tried using bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard and that doesn't work even though cmd says it was successful. Checked the debug mode in easybcd and that also says bootmenupolicy standard. See under as reported in quotes. I know the UGLY classic menu offers all the options via the function key but hey I LIKE THE METRO BOOTLOADER. Yes I know metro slows things down a bit but what can I do saving a second or two?

Hi,

look in BIOS/UEFI at the "Boot options" tab and see if there is an entry for the Metro bootloader and move it to the top!.

No bootloader options in BIOS for Metro

Hi,

are you dual booting with Linux?. If you are, there might be a Linux entry in "Boot options" or the Linux bootloader overwrote the Metro one?.
