Solved Hasleo Backup software has created a Boot menu that I don’t want.

Here is a problem (for me) and most annoying.

To inspect the software, I have installed and created a backup image with Hasleo backup version 4

After installing Hasleo, booting has been a normal process. There have been many boots without the following issue:

Since testing the recovery media (USB) for the sake of seeing if my PC booted to the HASLEO USB Emergency disk (no recovery attempted), after rebooting (with or without the USB media connected) I am confronted with the following screen on boot.

For the love of Odin, how do I disable this?

Entering more options has no option to disable this boot menu, just change the time it displays. Choosing Windows 11 in more options as the default OS, makes no difference.

How to add a boot entry in Windows boot menu to quickly start WinPE restore environment or remove the boot entry?

Holy cow, I’m obviously losing my touch or wasn’t paying attention. Will check it out and report back. Thank you, most grateful

To prove I am totally honest. I actually caused this myself. I now recall looking at that icon thinking "now for something completely stupid, click that icon" I assumed it would add a boot menu to the USB.

Thank you again, this fixed my problem. I am as I said, most grateful, Anibor_11

Macrium does the same. TBH I regard it as a useful addition, not a problem at all - I add it to the boot menu of all my machines :wink:

It’s was more a shocking surprise than a problem I suppose. I see its usefulness. I should be more careful.

Bree, so when you add the boot menu, does it install the whole kit or is the USB Boot Media still needed?

As do I. It boots so much faster than the USB.

The USB is not needed, it installs the whole "kit".

Thanks, Scott. Maybe I’ll leave it on then. There was a 3 second display option I believe, which is fine. Then I assume it will just boot to Windows (Default option)

Cool. You can set the timeout to whatever you want.

@antspants . This seems to work the same as Reflect. The add Boot Menu option is shown when you create Rescue Media. After the boot menu had been created the "Add Boot Menu" changes to "Remove Boot Menu". As others have said, it's a useful option and we have added it to all our machines. Mitch.

Cheers for that. In the Hasleo boot menu at boot, there was an option I think, for 3, 5, 10, 30 seconds. I suppose it would be the same as your screenshot except yours is via windows that allows random values. Much appreciated, Scott.

This is in fact, in all my time computing, something I have never looked at. Thanks all

I multi-boot, so I'm used to seeing the boot menu. Yes, the default OS is always at the top of the list and will boot if you do nothing. If you want to boot it straight away just hit the Enter key.

I leave mine set at the default of 10 seconds. If I want to select another OS, then I can either just click on it, or select it using the Tab or arrow keys before I hit Enter.
