How can I get rid of the "Windows Boot Manager" showing up when I only have one version of Windows?

While Stanley's method works, it's only a workaround. Here's a guide how to actually delete the entry. I have one thing to add (in case you mess something up): Before you use the "bcedit /delete" command, use "bcedit /export" to backup your current Boot Manager config.


  1. Right Click "My Computer"
  2. Click Advanced
  3. Click Startup and Recovery
  4. Choose Default Operating System and Uncheck "Time To Display Operating Systems"

Go to the "Run" prompt and type "msconfig" (without double quotes) In the next window, go to the Boot tab and check that there is only one option. Remove the unnecessary options. This should solve the problem. If it doesn't, take a peep into c:\boot.ini. However, take a backup of the file first in a safe location. Use this Microsoft URL for more help and info
