Greetings. Could some knowledgeable person please tell me the function of the system file bootim.exe and what is meant by the term "boot immersive menu".  I can find little info on this. My question applies to Windows 10. Thanks in advance!

Hi Bert Smith,

It is a boot menu execution file. When we run it(command line), it will give use the UI to get into WinRE.

Best regards

the term "boot immersive menu"

Sounds like the modern boot menu first introduced with W8.

Compare it with the legacy boot menu which you can still get using  bcdedit  displaybootmenu  option.

That was Google's best stab at finding what I meant.  BING was useless for this.

Well a search for me tells me this is boot options menu that is part of the recovery environment.

Any reason you ask?

Thank you. I am asking because I could find little info on bootim.exe and boot immersive menu. Like what they do and now they are used. Cheers

How is that question even remotely interesting? You'd have more fun looking at GRUB or anything actually hackable.
