Microsoft decided the Advanced Boot Options menu was no longer needed, but with the help of a command line prompt and BCDEdit, we can overrule that decision and add it back.
With the latest version of Windows 10 and Windows 11, the familiar Advanced Boot Options menu that users could activate by pressing F8 during the initial boot process on their PCs has been removed. Microsoft decided that the options listed on that boot menu were easier to access through other methods. But we don’t have to accept their decision as final and inconvertible.
By running a specific command from the command line prompt, we can bring back the Advanced Boot Options menu whether we are running Windows 10 or Windows 11. The command is another option of the useful BCDEdit function we used to add Safe Mode to Windows 11 in a previous article.
