I have been using EasyBCD for quite a few years. I previously had a dual boot setup, both being Windows 7. The dual boot menu appeared every time I booted the PC, as it should.
I have recently changed both systems to Windows 8. Each system was a clean install after formatting the SSDs that the systems are installed on.
My PC is fully shutdown every night.
The minor problem I am experiencing now is that in the first boot-up each day I usually do not get the boot OS choices menu - it boots straight into the default Windows 8 system. If I later restart the PC, I do get the boot menu, allowing me to choose which system I want to use.
I can live with this but would like to fix it.
Is anyone else experiencing this with Windows 8?
PS - should have mentioned that i am using CLASSIC SHELL to bypass the Win8 UI. Not that it should make any difference.
Addendum
After some more testing just now, I find that if I SHUTDOWN Windows 8, and then start the PC I do not get the boot menu, and it boots into the last used option, not the default option.
If I RESTART from in Windows 8 I always get the boot menu.
