I recently set up Windows 11 on my second drive, having both Windows 10 and Windows 11 installed on an SSD. When I select Windows 11 during boot, sometimes the laptop fails to start properly—showing a black screen and after about 15 seconds it restarts directly to Windows 11. Occasionally it freezes on the black screen after choosing Windows 11, requiring me to press the power button. Other times everything seems normal. Can someone assist me? My specs include a Ryzen 5 5500U, 1TB SSD, and 16GB RAM, using AMD software for iGPU drivers.

Run bcdedit /set "{current}" bootmenupolicy legacy in an administrator command prompt. It seems the system is loading Windows 10, possibly due to a version mismatch issue. Switching the boot menu to 'legacy' mode gives it an older appearance without preloading, which should prevent restarts and the crash you're facing.

You might consider repairing the MBR using the Command Prompt. Some online sources suggest this could resolve your issues, though I haven't tried it myself.

For systems under six years old, MBR isn't in use. Just follow the previous advice.
