System: HP Pavillion 590-p0045 Desktop PC
Installed RAM: 8.00 GB
System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64 based processor
Windows Edition: Windows 10 Home
Verson: 2004
OS build: 19041.153
**************************************************************
I recently installed Windows 8.1 as a secondary Operating System so I now have a “Dual Boot” setup on the Computer.
Windows 10 is chosen and shows as the Default OS.
System boots up normally and the CHOOSE OS appears with both systems shown.
If I choose Windows 10, system boots up to Windows 10 sign in screen quickly and all is well.
If I choose Windows 8.1, the RECOVERY Screen appears with the 0xc000000e error, PC needs to be repaired, etc.
I choose ESC for UEFI settings and the START UP Screen appears and I choose F-11
I choose F-11 from the START UP Screen Box and the CHOOSE AN OPTION Screen appears
I choose CHOOSE USE ANOTHER OPERATING SYSTEM and THE "CHOOSE USE ANOTHER OPERATING SYSTEM SCREEN" appears and I then choose win 8.1
Windows 8.1 Boots up normally.
I have reviewed the Windows Boot Manager file and it seems to be OK but I am not certain.
It seems that the Win 8.1 should boot up normally if chosen from the initial screen.
I reviewed and tried several solutions from this forum but none “fixed” the problem. At this point I can only Boot to the Win 8.1 FROM the System Recovery window Startup/F-11/Choose An Option/Use Another Operating System/Choose an operating system/ Win10 or win 8.1
Any help will be appreciated.
