remove OS selection menu

I created batchfiles to change default OS and reboot. I set the
bootloader delay to 0, but the menu still flashes for my eyes for about
a sec. I would like to switch OS using the batch files (yes, they use
bcdedit.exe) and I would not like to see the OS selection menu. Is there
a way to tweak the bootmgr to not show the menu?:sarc:

It is not checked and I can still see the menu flashing for about half a
second on boot.

That may be from the batch file. I wouldn't worry about it though since
it is only a split second.

I'm not sure why it would still show for a 1/2 second with that option
unchecked then. As a test, you might remove all non default OS's listed
in the boot menu to see if it still displays at boot.

No, it does not display if there is only one OS...

But if there are more than 1, it does... regardless of (un)checked
option

In an elevated cmd prompt, type:

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu no

Then press enter ( that's for anyone else reading this thread)

Hope it helps

More details needed. How many OS's are involved, and exactly what are
they?
