BCDedit on Windows 2012 R2

Question

The first boot entry that comes up on this machine is hosed. The second is good. However, I can't figure out how to delete the bad one- they all seem to share the same identifier. Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix? Output of bcdedit /v below.

Answer 1

Two things:

• the identifiers actually all differ by one digit (the eighth one)
• I was trying to do this in an admin Powershell. Doing it in admin cmd works.
