partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume2 is a sperate partition with 200mb and include the first bcd i posted.

This is the EFI version.

the second bcd runs on partition 3 with the windows folder

This is the BIOS version, located on disk0s3

should i delete the 200 mb partition or mount the partition and remove the EFI folder?

If you remove the EFI folder, you will also cause issues with macOS. Is there a Microsoft directory in the EFI partition? This should be pointing to the EFI BCD. Keeping both BCDs is problematic. Your new EFI installation is further complicating the issue. You may be booting the EFI installation as the default now, instead of the BIOS installation.


Also, I suggest you backup all your important files.

This is the EFI BCD. This will cause issues.

This is the correct BCD for BIOS and uses winload.exe. Is you EFI installation using the same partition as your BIOS one?

Apr 20, 2021 6:23 AM in response to Loner T

First of all thanks for your reply. I don't modify any partition . Yes i can can see all the files. The strange thing is that i have at the moment two Win10 installations. I manually installed a new one for testing what's wrong.


I can use bcdedit to switch between the new one and old one. The new is working the old not.


I have to restore the old installation because the new one is not working correctly for me because i am not able to use the mini displayport and also the audio device isn't working correctly.


Thanks for help.
