Title: How to Remove Linux from Windows 10 Boot Menu
Content:
Are you experiencing issues with your Windows 10 system booting into Linux? Perhaps you've recently installed Linux and want to remove it from the boot menu. In this article, we will guide you through the process of removing Linux from the Windows 10 boot menu.
1. Access the BIOS/UEFI
The first step is to access your computer's BIOS or UEFI settings. To do this, restart your computer and press the designated key during the boot process. The key can vary depending on your manufacturer, but common keys include F2, Del, F10, or Esc.
1.1. For BIOS:
1. Enter the BIOS/UEFI settings.
1. Navigate to the "Boot" or "Boot Order" section.
1. Look for an entry related to Linux, such as "GRUB" or the specific Linux distribution name.
1. Disable the Linux entry by removing it from the boot order or setting it to a lower priority.
1.2. For UEFI:
1. Enter the BIOS/UEFI settings.
1. Navigate to the "Boot" or "Boot Options" section.
1. Look for an entry related to Linux, such as "GRUB" or the specific Linux distribution name.
1. Disable the Linux entry by removing it from the boot order or setting it to a lower priority.
2. Edit the BCD Store (Optional)
If you want to completely remove Linux from the boot menu, you can edit the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store. This is an advanced step, so proceed with caution.
1. Open the Command Prompt with administrative privileges. You can do this by searching for "cmd" in the Start menu, right-clicking on "Command Prompt," and selecting "Run as administrator."
2. In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter:
bcdedit /deletevalue {Linux Boot Loader ID}
Replace {Linux Boot Loader ID} with the actual ID of the Linux boot loader entry. You can find the ID by typing the following command and pressing Enter:
bcdedit /list
This will display a list of boot loaders, including their IDs. Look for the Linux entry and note its ID.
3. Restart your computer
After completing the above steps, restart your computer. The Linux entry should no longer be present in the boot menu, and your system should boot into Windows 10.
By following these steps, you should be able to remove Linux from the Windows 10 boot menu. If you encounter any issues, feel free to seek assistance from online forums or a professional technician.
