Q: Reboot Current OS to Same OS, ie Windows Reboots Windows, OSX reboots OSX.

I have bootcamp with win 10 installed.  Currently any reboot reboots in OSX.  If I want windows I hold the option key, and select windows drive from the list.

 

What i'd like it to do is if I'm in windows and I press restart, I'd like to restart in windows.

 

If I'm in OSX and I restart, I'd like it to restart in OSX.

 

Anyone have a way to accomplish this?

 

Thanks,

    >System Preferences...>Startup disk

     

    unlock the panel and authenticate, then select the drive you wish to be the go-to startup portion at boot.

    I've done that already, that sets the permanent start up disk for both windows and osx.  If i switch it to OSX, it changes the start up disk in windows to osx as well.  And in windows if i change it to windows it changes it in OSX.

    That is the way it works, you can preset the startup disk, but you have to choose one.

    the other possibility is you have Windows set to reboot into Mac OS

    in your tray select the bootcamp control panel pop up and in the contextual menu and change the boot disk.

     

    if this does not fix it:

    On the Mac are you doing this in an administrative account or a standard account? Try admin if you are using standard.

    When you see the Windows partition in startup disk is it "blessed" meaning do you see a windows icon on the disk or just a plain disk or folder?

    CSound1 is correct. If you are in OSX you have to choose what you want to boot. Same thing if you are in Windows. It's easier just to use the option key.
