As part of searching for something BCD related today I learnt of the BCD Boot menu policy setting.
Introduced in Windows 8 this setting controls whether you get a traditional text based boot menu (Windows 7 are prior) or the new touch friendly GUI based menu (Windows 8 and later).
The bootmenupolicy setting can take either of two values: standard or legacy.
For the text menu:
|
1 |
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy |
For the GUI menu:
|
1 |
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard |
