Today I came across a problem that there was a need remove system selection when loading Windows 7, since constantly choosing the required system is a little annoying. Therefore, it is worth considering whether it is worth “tolerating” it, if of course it is necessary (for example, two OS Windows and Linux are installed on the computer), so why not disable it. I would like to immediately note that there are two ways to disable system selection, so let’s look at them:
The first and simplest method is to simply remove the system we don’t need from the boot. To begin, press the key combination Win+R. In the window that appears, enter msconfig: 
In the window that opens, go to the tab and select the system you want to remove; you can also rearrange it or designate it as the default system.
The second way to disable system selection, of course, is to disable it through computer properties, to do this, right-click on the My Computer icon, then select properties.
In the window that appears, select from the left menu Advanced System Settings go to the Advanced tab and click on Z. In the window that opens, set the system that will boot by default and uncheck the box to display a list of operating systems. We all click OK and our manipulations are completed.
I would like to note right away that when you remove an OS from the boot menu, you will not remove the entire system from the computer, but only the ability to boot it, so you first need to decide for sure whether it is worth it.
But if you decide to set a computer shutdown timer in Windows, then by following the link you will find all the necessary operations to install this program.
Typically, when you buy a new computer or install an operating system on a blank hard drive, you don't see any options when you turn on the computer. It’s not there - only one operating system is installed - that’s what loads. You may want to install another operating system on your computer, for example: Windows, Linux, Android. When you do this, when you turn on the computer, it will ask you - which of the installed software should you load first?
Please note that installing another Windows OS is only possible on one more logical or physical drive. Before Windows starts booting, it reads information from the boot sectors of hard drives and displays the information on the screen when it detects another bootloader.
By default, when selected after a 30-second countdown, the operating system that was installed last will load first.
Increasing loading times may cause negative feelings for you or the users of this computer. You won't be able to completely remove this choice for booting Windows, but you will be able to reduce the time it displays.
How to quickly remove system selection when loading Windows 7
For this:
In it, if you have two operating systems, you will see two lines. Using the “Use as default” button you can set which operating system you prefer to boot. And in the “Timeout” column, reduce the time to 1-2 seconds. In this case, the default operating system will boot quickly without stopping to select boot options.
If your computer has more than one operating system installed, then when you turn on the computer you will be given the opportunity to select the required operating system. But sometimes situations arise that if the operating system is installed incorrectly, when the hard drive was not formatted before installation, and the new operating system is installed on top of the old one, a menu for selecting the operating system may appear. It is worth noting that in the second case, despite the appearance of the selection menu, one operating system will be installed on your computer. And in this step-by-step instructions with photographs, we will show you how to remove the system selection when loading Windows 10.
Step 1
How to choose Windows as default through settings settings
Start by clicking the Start button and select Settings.
Step 3
Now in the “About System” section, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the “System Information” line.
Step 4
At this stage, click the “Advanced system settings” section.
Step 5
Now click the “Advanced” tab and in the “Boot and Recovery” block, click the “Options” button.
Step 6
The next step is to click the “corner” in the line “Operating system loaded by default” and select the required operating system by left-clicking on it.
Step 7
If you have two operating systems installed on your computer, you can change the time interval that will be provided for selection. To do this, leave a checkmark in the line “Display a list of operating systems” and change the time that will be provided for manually selecting an operating system when the computer boots.
Step 8
In order for the default operating system to automatically load when you turn on the computer, you must uncheck the box next to the line “Display a list of operating systems” and click the “Ok” button.
Step 9
To save the changes, click “Ok”.
Step 10
How to Set Windows as Default Through Control Panel
In this method, we'll start by opening the Control Panel window. To do this, right-click on the “Start” button and in the menu that opens, click the “Control Panel” line.
If you have two operating systems installed on your computer, then most likely, after turning on the computer, a window constantly appears on the monitor where the user is asked to select the operating system to launch.
If we do not select within a few seconds, then the one that is selected is loaded by default. So, if we constantly boot the same system, then we have this window where we need to select the operating system to launch and do not need it to appear. It only takes up our time and forces us to do unnecessary actions, and this every time we start the computer.
In this lesson we will look at how to remove the list of operating systems that appear when we turn on the computer. Let's consider the simplest and fastest option.
We remove the list of operating systems in Windows XP.
Right-click on the icon on the desktop “My Computer" In the list that appears, select "Properties".
In the window that opens, go to the “Advanced” tab and in the “” item click on the “Options” button.
In the next window, we uncheck the “” item and click “OK”.
Also pay attention to the point Operating system loaded by default. The one that is listed there will now load automatically after turning on the computer. That is, the system, having booted from which we were now making changes so that remove the list of operating systems, will now constantly load, I showed Windows XP as an example, and now it will load for me, and the list with the OS selection will not appear.
If we want to remove the list of operating systems, but then always automatically boot Windows 7, then we need to boot from it and do similar actions.
Removing the list of operating systems in Windows 7.
Right-click on the “My Computer” icon and go to “Properties”.
On the “Advanced” tab, click the “Options” button.
And uncheck the " Display a list of operating systems", here you can see that the default is Windows 7, and now it will boot immediately after turning on the computer, and the list of operating systems will no longer appear during loading, click "OK" to save.
Everything is ready, so we figured out how to remove the list of operating systems at boot. This concludes the lesson!
