Windows 10 fails to boot after change in Msconfig to Normal boot
Have Windows 10 Pro in dual-boot system with Win7 on one drive and Win10 on a second drive. Worked fine after I had to recover the Windows 10 drive. Dual-boot menu showed up each time. I noticed that in the General tab in msconfig the Selective option was checked, so I changed it to Normal.
After this, the system only boots into Windows 7, and there is no dual-boot menu at the beginning either. Since I can’t boot into Win10, I can’t change msconfig back to Selective boot directly. I tried running the msconfig program on the Win10 drive from Windows 7, but that failed.
Also, I’m not skilled with command line stuff, so I’m a bit reluctant to try “bcdboot” and other commands related to fixing corrupt files as I don’t think that applies here. All that needs to be done, I think, is to find a way—from Windows7–to change that setting in msconfig back to “Selective.” Any ideas? Thanks!
