Windows 10 IoT Enterprise - No Advanced Boot Option

Question

_{Monday, January 9, 2017 3:18 PM}

Hi,

Have created an Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB image using Windows System Image Manager. However I am unable to get the Advanced Boot Option Menu to appear.

I have tried most, if not all of the bcdedit /set options, and while I can get the boot menu to appear, pressing F8 at this point still won't display the menu.

Hi,

There is a link introduces how to Access Advanced Startup Options in Windows 10, you could have a look

Please Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

I think you're familiar with previous versions of Windows like Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP. Yes, we remember that we could force the loading of what was then called the Advanced Boot Options menu by pressing F8. This is no longer possible in Windows 10 now.

In fact, even the widely publicized SHIFT+F8 option, which supposedly works to force Advanced Startup Options to appear (and ultimately Startup Settings and Safe Mode), only works on very slow computers. The amount of time that Windows 10 looks for SHIFT+F8 is so small on most Windows 10 devices and PCs that it borders on impossible to get it to work.

An integer value that disables F8 and F10 during boot-up for gaining access to advanced boot options. Possible values are 1 for disable the menu, and 0 to enable the menu.

Where do I have to put this option? In \c$\EFIESP\config.txt? How is this option called / what's the key?

In WSIM I believe I set this option to 0.
