Windows VM - reach boot menu - F8
-
Hi!
On a bare-metal server, I can reach the windows boot menu by holding F8 on boot.
On XCP-ng-VMs, this does not work.Is there any "trick" to add the hotkey?
Booting in recovery mode did not help
Thank you and best wishes

@KPS run the following commands in elevated CMD prompt:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu no bcdedit /set {bootmgr} timeout 15reboot

@manilx said in Windows VM - reach boot menu - F8:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu no
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} timeout 15Thank you. I had to do:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} timeout 15It would be great to be able to get the menu on VMs, that have not been changed before, but that is sufficient in most situations.
Thank you for your help

@KPS it should be "yes" of course. Typo!
