Lately, whenever I boot up my PC, Windows keeps asking me if I want to load Windows 10 or Windows 7. I’m honestly not quite sure what triggered this—everything was working perfectly fine for months, and I’m usually glued to my computer anyway, so it's a bit of a surprise.
I’ve been poking around in the settings they provide, and I see where I can set a priority so one loads automatically, but even then, it waits for a few seconds while that selection window just sits there staring at me.
To make matters worse, even when I try to pick Windows 7—which shouldn't be hard, though it's easy to misclick sometimes—it just throws an error and refuses to boot into Windows 7 at all.

Is there any way to disable this prompt entirely and just have Windows 10 boot up automatically without me having to click anything?

Thanks for the help!

I've poked around the settings provided in that menu, and while you can technically set a priority so it boots one automatically after a few seconds of waiting, it's still an annoyance.

Thanks for the help.

I'm pretty sure this covers what you're looking for: http://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-...d-line-utility

So, here’s the fix: just hit Win+R, type in msconfig, head over to the Boot tab, and delete the Windows 7 entry. That should do the trick!👍

Once you get that sorted out—and once you've got Windows 10 up and running—just type "disk cleanup" into the search bar. From there, you can just check all the boxes to clear out all that junk you've accumulated...
