Hi all,
After upgrading to 11, I did a back up with Macrium and after that made a rescue media USB. Now when I start the comp I get a blue screen with the option of loading W11 or Macrium. I want to boot straight to desktop but can't find any setting in Macrium to stop that option appearing. Any clues people?

You can hide it (or change the duration it shows for) by adding this to an elevated Command Prompt

Code:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} timeout 0

Just add the number of seconds to the end of the timeout.

Or you can remove the boot manager screen by opening macrium reflect and deleting it in the 'create rescue media' screen.

That did the trick, many thanks (y)
The Macrium recovery option on the boot screen is very useful since it loads from the SSD system drive much more quickly than the external USB recovery drive - provided of course your system drive is working.
