Question Windows does unnecessary restart when dual booting Windows 10

Hello, I have installed a second windows 10 on my laptop, and although the both appear as I want them to in the BCD, when I try to boot into the second one, the computer does a reboot first before entering that system. Is there a way to disable this from happening and to be able to boot both my systems without a restart in the middle?

That is normal behavior.
Nothing to fix.

Without restart - only default windows instance can be loaded.
Loading any non default windows instance will require a restart.
