Okay, I'll first list the things I've tried, just so that's clear:
- I've downloaded EasyBCD/checked bcdboot. There's only one entry.
- I've cleared the CMOS.
- I've read this post (the only one I could find that seems to describe the exact problem I'm having), but the solution seems infeasible. I don't have an identical second PC where I could copy a working EFI partition from. Edit: I can't find the link anymore. Was about a guy with a bunch of identical laptops, and only one that was faulty.
Onto what caused my problem. I cloned my Windows 10 disk to an SSD. That went fine, until I cleared the original drive. I got a BSOD on boot. I then followed these great instructions, and got my system to boot again: http://superuser.com/a/504360
BUT, I now have this strange and bothersome problem of having two identical Windows Boot Manager entries in my BIOS. I can boot from the second one, but not the first. If I select the second one to use as default, the system won't boot either.
Bottom line: if I restart my system I have to go and manually select the correct WBM entry every time. If anyone knows a solution to this, it'd be greatly appreciated.
