Please help me if someson know how to slove this.

I just bought an new desktop with two M2.SSD with two Win 11 on each, if I keep using the 1st Win11, no matter reboot or power off/on, I still able to select system with boot menu, but once I switch to 2nd Win11, no matter reboot or power off/on, it will directly boot with 2nd Win11.

I need to run EasyBCD and repair boot files to get the boot menu show again, does anyone know how to slove it?

Thanks a lot.
 
Hello,
Your issue likely stems from boot configuration conflicts between the two M.2 SSDs. When switching to the second Windows 11, it may override the boot priority. Try these steps:
  1. Check BIOS settings – Ensure both SSDs are detected and adjust the boot order.
  2. Rebuild the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) using EasyBCD or bcdboot commands.
  3. Use Windows Recovery – Boot into recovery mode and run bootrec /rebuildbcd.

For more details, check this discussion. Hope this helps!

Best Regards,
James Batson

You have two Windows 11 systems on separate SSDs. When you boot into the second one, it takes over and hides the boot menu. To fix this, always manage the boot settings from the first Windows. Set its SSD as the primary boot device in BIOS and disable fast startup in the second Windows to stop it from overriding the boot menu. Use EasyBCD from the first Windows to keep both systems listed.
