Boot menu only shown on restart, never on shutdown/startup

Using EasyBCD 2.4.0.237, I set up two partitions to boot. The boot menu appears as expected whenever I restart my computer, but when I shut it down then press the power button to start it back up, it always skips past the boot menu and loads the first partition. Consequently, every day, I need to start my computer and then immediately restart it in order to ever load the second partition.

Why would it matter whether the OS was restarted vs. shutdown-and-started? How do I fix this so that the boot menu is always shown?

Here are my current settings:
