mantra,

If the OS is installed in UEFI mode you could try EasyUEFI (Free). It has a Delete function to remove items from the Boot Menu.

 

hi Brian
can't find the option to remove from the bios
i mean i have this device in the bios
thanks

 

mantra,

In EasyUEFI, Manage EFI Boot Option... Do you see the device in Boot order? If not, then EasyUEFI can't help.

 

hi
no sadly i can not see them
but why does the bios keep in memory old devices?
is the reset the only way?
thanks

 

Are you taking about the BCD or the UEFI firmware ("BIOS")? The BCD is in the EFI System partition, it´s what EasyBCD andr EasyUEFI see.

Did you try to delete the entries in the firmware setup interface?

 

hi
I'm talking about the "Bios" UEFI firmware ("BIOS")
i wrote in the title bios
i haven't a delete features in the UEFI firmware bios
thanks Robin

 

There is usually an option to "delete" the items that appear in the boot sequence. For example, in this (Lenovo) computer, the option in the firmware setup is: Startup > Primary Boot Sequence > select a device > exclude / include the device to boot.

(BTW, it´s possible to put a shortcut in the desktop to boot directly to the firmware settings:
Create Shortcut to Boot to UEFI Firmware Settings in Windows 10)

my operation system are not UEFI but legacy i have checked with diskmgmt.msc and msinfo32

how could be happen ? can i change them to uefi again ? before installing ubuntu & sierra they were uefi
could a program or different bios settings or anoter os (like osx or linux) change it?
i have dual boot
thanks

 

hi
well i was able to clean them
i want to share , i download rufus and ubuntu
create an usbstick with boot setting mbr or uefi
boot via uefi (the usbstick with ubuntu)

1) i run the terminal and
sudo apt-get install efibootmgr ->this installs efibootmgr

sudo modprobe efivars
sudo efibootmgr BootOrder -> the list

mine was 83 (the uefi entry) , so
sudo efibootmgr -b 83 -B

and it's gone
cheers
