Multiple copies of Windows 10 in MSCONFIG Boot tab

1) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
4) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
5) sfc /scannow
6) chkdsk /scan
7) wmic recoveros set autoreboot = false
8) bcdedit /enum all

9) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

10) Open disk management > by default some columns are compressed > widen each Status and Volume > make sure the contents within the parenthesis are in full view and that none of the characters are cutoff > view disk 0 > widen this row as needed so that all of the characters are in full view > post an image into the thread

What we really need to see is the output of bcdedit

As you can see below there is only one boot loader on my system as long as I do not check the use original boot configuration option. Let me be clear that the way things are now I have no problems whatsoever. I am just curious what these three other boot loader entries are. As mentioned, they are probably old entries which are no longer valid and therefore cause boot failures. Also notice, in a previous MSCONFIG screen shot, that the top entry of the MSCONFIG image that shows three boot loaders is not described the same as the screenshot at the bottom which is the one I use.

I have done all the suggested steps in the past except for wmic recoveros set autoreboot = false as I am not familiar with what this does until I do some research.

Btw.. Doyou guys have Normal Startup checked off? If so, is use old configuration checked but grayed out?

In startup and recovery system failure the default setting is automatic restart.
When automatic restart is checked it is easy to miss BSOD.
When automatic restart is unchecked when there is a BSOD you should see a BSOD window with bugcheck and : (
Sometimes you may see a misbehaving driver in the form *.sys

The wmic command unchecks automatically restart if it is not already unchecked.

When possible please post the results of the other administrative command prompt commands and disk management.

I have done the other commands many times even before I discovered the three boot loader entries. I tried all the means I know where to locate these three 'wierd' entries using 3rd party programs and looking at the BCD file and checking out the registry. I can't find them.

One thing I haven't tried is checking the use original configuration, get the three other bootladers, delete them in my other program that let's me delete them and then go back and uncheck use original configuration which might set things back to normal startup or I can do it myself. Hopefully the correct bootloader will be there and will be bootable.

My aim is to have normal startup checked with the correct bootloader as shown in the last screenshots. As mentioned things work just fine as they are, so I don't want to make a working configuration not work. I seems to have a fallback by restoring a disk image of a good system so I can play around with all of this.

If you guys check use original config if not checked already do you get additional boot loader entries? Just make sure you don't apply anything as that will save them and possibly prevent you from booting.

Found this.. The Msconfig Startup Selection Reverts from Normal to Selective Startup
I haven't nothing checked in Advanced Troubleshooting Settings dialog box however.

When using a HD selective startup has a faster boot.
When using a SSD it has substantially smaller impact on boot times.
So selective startup can be a useful feature.

I fired up a vanilla Windows 10 VM. Looking at MSCONFIG it also has Selective startup checked and use original config is NOT checked. This is like my production machine. However, when I check use original config the Normal option gets checked and the boot tab shows the exact same name so I assume if I saved it it would boot. Since I haven't reinstalled Windows on my VM might be the reason other Windows boot loaders don't show up.

My aim is to use Normal startup with only the boot loader appearing on the boot tab that let's me boot. The three that show up are no good.

There are log collectors used in another forum room.

On dozens of computers since Windows 7, Selective Startup is always selected because the Normal Startup option just simply will not stick. I may be able to select it and reboot once, but once it reboots it goes right back to selective startup. So I just don't worry about it.
