Trying to fix my Bad Boot entry on Windows 10

Use EasyBCD - Just download the free version if it's for personal use. It's by far the easiest tool to edit/delete boot entries.

I dwnloaded EasyBCD but i couldn't tell the difference between the two entries because they look exact. Is there a way to delete both and reconfigure the BCD in command prompt?

Beats me why folks use third party software to fix a Microsoft problem - it's all in there somewhere and has been since 2000. Press your Windows key and R together then type in
msconfig
and press the Enter key.

Click the Boot tab, highlight the surpus entry and click on Delete.

Click Apply and OK your way out and accept the recommended restart.

Ok will do, will it automatically rebuild the BCD file or will i have to manually configure it?

Of the hundreds of systems my customers have messed up, I never had to do more than that. I checked on a Windows 10 machine before posting to ensure it still works in there and it does.

Edit the name of one of the entries with EasyBCD. Then try selecting each one during boot to see which one works and which one doesn't, then you'll know which one to delete using EasyBCD. Also, change the "Timeout Options" to "Skip the boot menu" after deleting the un-wanted entry so your boot doesn't wait for a selection, which I assume is what you want.

If there's only one boot entry in msconfig, you have only one boot entry. If you'e really that worried, use the command line to bcdedit but I doubt you'll find anything. Your BIOS needs a different setting.
