  • Try: Click Restart while holding the shift key down, then F8 or shift+F8 at the boot screen – Moab Feb 17 '20 at 17:00

This is the command to enable the boot menu in Windows 10; I do it for all my W10 PCs.

From an admin command prompt enter the command below and hit Enter.  You should now get the F8 boot menu.  Start tapping F8 at the BIOS splash screen.  Be sure to include spaces in the command.

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes

  • At the risk of acting like a five-year-old, I find this confusing.  Does the user “now get the F8 boot menu” immediately after entering the `bcdedit` command, or do they still need to reboot?  Does the `bcdedit` command *give* user the F8 boot menu, or does it only ***enable*** it (so it appears if the user taps the F8 key while rebooting)? – Scott - Слава Україні Feb 17 '20 at 21:06
  • Reboot, then it works using F8 at the bios screen. Easy peasy. – Moab Feb 17 '20 at 23:06
