Hopfully someone understand what happed. as my self lost in this.
The boot manager screen lost resolution and turned from normal to micro. It is hard to read anything now
What I did, I installed another windows on my Yoga and new entry one by one as always.
I spent many hours but unfortunately I cant find the solution.
Than remove and install new Windows again, downgrade/upgrade bios, system restore etc.
When switch to Metro with EasyBDC all is ok but I do not like it.

If anyone has idea when those settings can be changed or how to revert to normal as it was.

The only thought I can add is - did you nstall EasyBCD as an Adminisrator? That is important.
 
Yes, It wont let you install without admin rights mate.
I used EasyBcd many years on many laptops and never had any problems. Doubt if this software made the issue.
 
The boot process gets to the menu screen before the operating system loads (obv, you haven't picked it yet) which means it's using a generic VGA driver, usually at a low resolution.
On this PC (W10/W7) I notice that splash screeens during boot are different shapes and sizes on the two monitors 2560x1440 and 1920x1200 before the proper drivers get loaded later in the boot process, but are still large and visible as is the boot menu.
On my flight sim PC (W11) with a matched pair of 4k monitors, I do notice that the splash screen images are surprisingly small, but since it's not dual boot I never see a menu.
I would speculate that the W11 boot manager is more sophisticated than previous iterations and detects the monitor resolution early on in the process meaning that the primitive boot menu at 800x600 is getting lost in the high resolution landscape.
 
Thank you for all your replies. I understand that it can be difficult to diagnose and resolve issues.

Essentially, after installing additional windows, the boot menu inexplicably minimized, as mentioned in the initial post. Everything functioned correctly but became annoying.

The issue has now been resolved with a disk management software, restoring everything to normal with just one click.
