    How to disable Startup Settings?


    Hi, at every boot/restart, I am presented with Startup Settings, I have to press Enter to continue.
    How to get rid of it, please? I needed to go to safe mode, so I used msconfig, ever-since I have this.

    I have my boot time out set to zero(you need to do that in advanced settings/startup & recovery) and then just use Advanced startup in the settings app when I need to go to safe mode.

    I have the time set to 5 secs, but it does not skip it, it just sits there. It is not an extreme issue, just annoying. When I turn on the computer, I go make a coffee and when I return, I have to press enter and wait another minute until it boots up.

    These are my settings because I have the Macrium Reflect boot option, and it just boots strait to Windows then:

    Then if I need to go to Advanced Startup, it's under Recovery:

    This way you can avoid the Startup menu.

    I have tried this, but it did not work either:

    bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No
    bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures

    Thanks for the tip, but it did not work.

    Looking at EasyBCD I thought, maybe I should use {current} profile, but no luck.

    bcdedit /set {current} recoveryenabled No
    bcdedit /set {current} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures

    I have finally got it, I should have looked at bcdedit sooner, I just had to do this.

    bcdedit /set {current} advancedoptions false


    Warning! There is no default timer when the Advanced Boot Menu option is enabled in Windows 8 and the system will wait for user input every time it starts or restarts.

    Glad you got it sorted otherwise I would have suggested that you re-create the BCD to reset everything to default.
