    Two HDD with Windows 10. Can't choose boot.

    I don't have any USB drives (Jump Drives) plugged in. It was working only when just the two OS HDD were plugged in, but if I plugged in any other HDD (spare ones/additional) it would stop working correctly.

    Two HDD with Windows 10. Can't choose boot.

    Thanks ChrisHirst, sometimes it seems that it is just your own machine that is trying to 'confuse' you; but placing the Bios Prompt at StartUp is not too bad and it works if you can't access it directly if a 'no menu' is triggered again. Appreciate your input. Regards.-

    Two HDD with Windows 10. Can't choose boot.

    OK, got it solved ............ 1) I went to the Original Win10 HDD and found out that both Operating Systems were on Boot (msconfig) even though I was on just one HDD. 2) Deleted the second entry and which said Default and kept the Current Windows10. That worked good. 3) That didn't solve the...

    Two HDD with Windows 10. Can't choose boot.

    Windows Defender Update

    When I get the Windows Update ALL the Windows Defender files show FAILED. I have Kaspersky and Malwarebytes installed as protection and Win7 64bits. I don't have any issues with the system as far as I can tell, however I was wondering if those "failed updates" can be avoided. Thanks.-
