meckron,

Follow these steps:

Click Start.
Type msconfig in the search box or open Run.
Go to Boot.
Select which Windows version you'd like to boot into directly.
Press Set as Default.
You can delete the earlier version by selecting it and then clicking Delete.
Click Apply.
Click OK.

the only thing in msconfig is windows 11 which is already set to default, i have added bootx64.efi as a trustable uefi file i just need to remove that , i tried to delete it using bcdedit but it kept reappearing when i rebooted my system
