Windows 10 BCD Store Missing BIOS Setup Entry


silent001

Recommended Posts

Hello. Yesterday I Pressed F12 on my laptop and noticed I had 3 Boot Manager Entries on it. So I Ran CMD as admin and Typed

BCDEDIT /ENUM FIRMWARE

and saw that the three entries was there so I tried to delete it but noticed I accidently removed the BIOS Setup entry. I tried a reinstall but it didnt come back. Here is the output of my current BCD store

I am a bit perplexed about something... the BCD store shouldn't control what's being shown during POST, as it has no bearing on POST.  I could very well be wrong, however my understanding is the BCD store doesn't come into play until after the BIOS/UEFI Firmware hands off to the installed bootloader.  Pressing F12, F2, or any BIOS/UEFI Firmware hotkey interrupts the boot process; hence the firmware never actually gets to the process of handing off the boot process to the installed bootloader.  For example, pressing F12 with no HDD or OS installed will still provide a boot menu with options to choose from, Enter Setup usually be the last one, if not the onboard DOS diagnostics.
 

Have you tried re-flashing the BIOS/UEFI firmware?

 
 
On the off chance my understanding of the BCD store is wrong:
 

Have you tried bootrec?

 

Boot into WinRE/WinPE:

bootrec /fixboot

bootrec /rebuildbcd

 

Beyond adding custom entries to BCD, I've never worked with it beyond that.  If you know the GUID for BIOS Setup entry, you should be able to re-add it via the command line or a program like Boot Ice (an extremely handy and powerful little program).

The BIOS related boot entries may be used by Windows in Advanced Startup. If Windows 8+ is installed onto GPT disk, you can instruct Windows to restart into the BIOS/UEFI setup automatically.

You can see the relevant option here: UEFI Firmware Settings

New problem. My laptop will not boot at all. I imported a backup of a bcd store and now all boot entries in my firmware bios is missing. Please help. They say the board needs to be replaced. The laptop has a phoenix securecore tiano bios. If i get into the BIOS Setup by removing the CMOS battery(only way to get in as F2 only beeps but does nothing) under boot Priorities all that is listed is Recovery & Utility. Please help I dont know how to get it fixed. It wont boot a windows CD or a usb or the internal HDD

Have tried removing the HDD. If I understand the firmware bios correctly it uses windows BCD and stores the entries in the NVRAM or something lke that so that you can boot to the right partition and right OS (if multiple OS installed) without having to load the bootloader for each OS or something like that. I sent it in and they tell me they have to replace the board which is almost the same price as what I paid for the laptop new. If I only knew how to repair it because the Pheonix Bios setup seams to have some sort of recovery utility but I need to know how to access this so I can just try boot the OEM install disk and do a clean install but no matter what I try I am still unable to get anything to boot
