EasyBCD - menu ordering bug - firmware items displayed (but not manageable) - v2.3.0.207

I've just tried to use your tool to (only) change the ordering of my boot items (- nothing more than that), and it has ended-up adding 'firmware application' items, that are now been displayed, but are not manageable (/visible) using MsConfig.

BCDEdit displays them. Now I don't know if I can delete them or whether they were always there but (somehow) hidden from view (or not "ACTIVE" ?!?).

I have Windows 10 Pro Anniversary Edition (- with Developer features enabled), and it's a custom-build laptop:

I seem to have two entries for my Killer NIC & two probably for my WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) instance of Ubuntu. Here's my BCDEdit output:

I don't believe BCDEdit was displaying any firmware-applications before (- unless one was displayed and I missed it, but certainly none were been displayed upon the Boot menu upon booting-up).


(A recent re-install of Windows 10 caused drive D to be recognised as now been Disk-0 & drive C now been Disk-1 - it seemed to switch them, not sure if that's anything to do with it / whether your software is assuming that drive C is always Disk-0?)

EasyBCD doesn't make any assumptions about your disk letters, it just reads them from your registry, and reflects what Windows calls everything.
All that apparent junk in your boot menu is a function of UEFI, nothing to do with EasyBCD either.
Whatever you do, don't try to "clean it up". Not if you still want your PC to boot.
EasyBCD does cosmetically clean it for you. If you look in "view settings" under detailed mode, you'll find it all like you do with bcdedit, but overview mode ignores it all and just displays your OS options.
