Hi, for the past 3 days when I turn on my computer, it keeps brining up Windows Boot Manager and I have to press Enter to start Windows 7 (it stays at that screen until I hit enter and doesn't have a countdown timer). I don't know why all of sudden it's doing this. I only have 1 OS installed (clean install) and it's been fine for almost a year now. I tried restoring it to an earlier time but that didn't work either. Changing the boot timer in msconfig didn't do anything too since there's no timer. I can't seem to get rid of/fix it. Can anyone help me? Thanks

In msconfig in boot section , tick "no gui boot", not certain if this will fix your problem

Thanks Tinderbox for your reply. I tried it and it's still happening.

EDIT:
Okay, I was finally able to fix it.

1. Download and Install EasyBCD 2.0
2. Click "Edit Boot Menu" button
3. Check the "Skip the boot menu" option in the Timeout Options
4. Save Settings

Hope this helps anyone else having this problem.
