Problem with startup configurations on Windows 11
Problem with startup configurations on Windows 11
I know the Windows startup options well, especially for disabling driver enforcement in work mode. I've never encountered startup settings missing entirely. I've tried various methods to reach the settings page—holding shift, using recovery options—but nothing works. Anyone have experienced this?
Please adjust your post to reflect the complete details of the system's hardware specifications.
Is this the configuration that isn't visible?

Does it match the previous display? Or is it a different startup setup?
Startup Apps might be involved.
Try searching with the query and press WinKey to enter.

Which techniques in the linked resource do not work? What error, window, or outcome appears during a failure? Can I upload screenshots of the interface to imgur for sharing?
Uncertain about the method you're referring to? Any approach to open the Windows boot menu will work, like pressing shift while clicking restart. No errors or messages appear, making it seem completely standard. I assumed the location might have shifted in a recent update, but online sources confirm it remains unchanged. For troubleshooting, refer to advanced options → Startup Settings. Here’s your advanced options screen: https://imgur.com/a/tYYbPs5
System image recovery was the unusual option chosen, it replaced the Startup settings... it can display results when you boot from USB, which shouldn't be present if you accessed it through Windows.
The options displayed on that menu have evolved across different Windows versions.
A recent screenshot indicates the sequence is:
Startup repair
Startup Settings
Command Prompt
UEFI Settings
System Restore
Try updating to Windows 11? You’re not on the latest build... but you’re on the correct version.
It complicates accessing Safe Mode... I’m aware it doesn’t indicate a failure unless you’re not at least on the login screen when opening Windows, it should reflect if you open via settings though.
I attempted to run sfc/dism?
Opened PowerShell (administrator)
Paste this command into the window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
Press Enter
Then execute SFC /scannow
Press Enter
Restart your PC if SFC resolves any issues, since some fixes need a restart to take effect.
The first command repairs files that SFC uses for cleaning, and SFC then addresses system files.
SFC = System File Checker. The first command initiates DISM –

I suspect a DISM command would be appropriate here, as it handles image files.
Another method exists to attempt Safe Mode.
Power on via the Command Prompt of your boot disk. Type these commands and press ENTER after each:
(Be aware of the colon after C with no space; then spaces that matter – one before T before / and a space before & before { and so on)
C:
BCDEDIT /SET {DEFAULT} BOOTMENUPOLICY LEGACY
EXIT
You’re back to the boot screen → Shut down the computer.
Restart and immediately press F8 (meaning the power button, then F8).
I hope this will bring you into Safe Mode.)
this is reagentc once more... i believed it only worked on win 10?
reagentc handles adding the menu items
use reagentc /enable on the command line (admin)
