Bootrec is unable to locate the requested file.
Hello, I just removed Pop!_OS as a dual boot with Windows 10, but my Boot Manager is gone from the boot options. I can still start Windows using GRUB commands by typing "exit," though that’s not very convenient. I also used a recovery disk and tried bootrec /rebuildbcd, which found one Windows installation but failed when I asked for confirmation. All other bootrec tools are giving similar problems. Can you help?
The BIOS boot menu no longer shows the Windows Bootloader. When you open CMD and run "msconfig", you'll find options under the "Boot" tab to configure Windows as the default bootloader.
Did you verify the BIOS settings for an EFI Windows entry? Pressing exit in Grub would simply close it and move to the following boot option. You may review the instructions I provided for removing Grub.
The issue arises because my Windows Boot Manager isn't present in the BIOS. Right now, I can't access Windows without GRUB.
I removed PopOS using Disk Management and cleared the second disk. Were there any other partitions affected?
Create a fresh Windows EFI boot area using the provided installation disk.
