As you can see in the pics below I have two copies of Win11 installed, W11PRO and W11 Gaming.

I'm pretty sure of have this configured correctly as everything works as you'd expect and does boot correctly.

But for some reason its showing the "Windows 11 PRO" boot option twice. So how can I remove either one of the Windows 11 PRO options as they both work and boot into W11PRO

Thanks
 
Are you sure that the BCD you're editing with EasyBCD in your screenshots, is the one that's actually being used to boot the PC. (assuming that each OS is independently bootable)
Check EasyBCD > Tools > Options to see if you have anything in the "automatically load..." field.
Can you post a screenshot of your Disk Management if you need any further help.
 
Yeah 100% sure, its not even installed on the other copy of Win11.

Nothing I can see that sticks out as what it might be in the options menu either.

Thanks for the help and any more ideas are welcome :smile:

And while I'm no expert to me everything looks ok there to me. But I'm still open to ideas though Terry! :smile:
 
That does show in the bootmgr displayorder, multiple instances of your W10 PRO id,
Don't know how that happened.
Does it fix it if you delete the Pro entry from the BCD then add it again ?
If not, and if it really bothers you
BCD Backup/Repair > Reset BCD config > Perform Operation
Then add your two BCD entries again
Don't reboot until you've put the BCD entries back.
EasyBCD will warn you not to in big scary letters, but you'd be amazed how many people ignore that.
