Hey guys, I looked for this answer everywhere and I dont find. After install Remix OS on my laptop, my windows wont boot. On the screen for choose the OS I got 3 options: Windows, Remix OS and Remix OS Advanced Option.
When I click on windows, a black scrren blink and then returns to the OS options screen, I cant go after this black screen on windows, but RemixOS boot normally.
My question is: can I create a bootable usb pendrive of windows with some app on remix os? Is my only option right now, only pc in home...
Getting into the recovery mode wont work too on my Asus Laptop, tryed all.
Thanks
Only PC at home?
You need to boot to WinPE or a live Windows CD similar to that and run something like EasyBCD or another Utility that can manage your BCD in Windows to fix it and make it boot properly. Without another PC though I'm not sure that You can do it. Also I don't know that you can do it in Android x86.
If you press F8 quickly when closing windows does it get you to the recovery options? If you can boot to windows is recovery mode you can repair your BCD with the right commands.
I believe that the BCD needs to be edited, you need to choose the drive where windows is installed for the Windows entry. This is easy with EasyBCD which is a windows utility. It's possible that remix created a backup of your BCD file too. In that case you just need to restore it and this You can do in remix OS since it lets you browse your Windows files with something like ES File Explorer.
However restoring your original BCD file will get rid of the Remix OS boot entry.
Normally your Windows partition will be the C: drive and your BCD will be under c:\boot which is a hidden folder. However in a lot of cases there is a small bootable partition that is 500 Megs or so, this is where the hidden \boot folder is located. The one that has the BCD file. In that folder there might be a BCD.bak file that could be the backup file that remix OS might have created.

ive installed remix os and configure it as default os but now im unable to boot windows is there any solution to this withoout having recovery cd or usb plz help
82 views no reply need help plz
You made it the default os, thats the problem. If you can get an app which can change the boot sequence from remix os, than you can fix it without the recovery disk, otherwise you will need the recovery disk. I am saying all this assuming you have actually installed remix os on your harddisk. If your booting remix os from a usb, remove the usb before booting up your pc
more info would be nice...like how and where you installed remix os.
if on the same hdd but different partition, i m sure you replaced the windows bootloader.
if on another hdd, try going into the boot menu during post and select the different hdd and see.

Already Fixed The Issue With A Old CD Of Windows 7.
Hello everyone and thanks for these great releases!!
I have a Lenovo miix 700 Windows based tablet, and I'm interested in a dual boot with RemixOS and Window 10 using the touch screen only, without the keyboard.
I have RemixOS efi folder extracted and running on the same partition of WIndows (C: ), and I can boot through UEFI normally.
THe problem is - this requires to enter the BIOS in order to chose UEFI OS, which means requires having the keyboard attached to enter the BIOS settings. and being a tablet, I don't have the keyboard with me all the time.
I'm looking for a way to boot into RemixOS from Windows 10, without the need for the keyboard, by using a batch file script or any other application available that will restart the device and boot directly into RemixOS.
I also want to keep both Windows 10 and RemixOS on the same partition , without the need for a separate partition for RemixOS
I know that devices based on Legacy can use easyBCD and iReboot to achieve this, but I couldn't find an equivalent for UEFI bios.
Maybe using METRO boot manager and add an entry for RemixOS? IS it touch enabled?
I'd be grateful for any help to achieve this! Thanks in advance!

Hi, you can check this link:

easyuefi not running well in Win 10 Anniversary Update. I prefer grub2win
any news or tuto to easyboot on win10 tablet without keyboard ?
thanks is advance for your help
That's something I've been trying to get to work in the past days!
I've shrunk my C Partition and created a new one with 16GB formatted in FAT32 for Remix OS.
Extracted the ISO and copied the files onto the new partition.
Added a new entry with easyuefi (Type Linux/other OS pointing to the efi\boot\bootx64.efi file on the new partition)
Created a shortcut for the advanced start %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
BUT Remix OS doesn't boot in resident mode (it get's stuck on the Remix OS boot logo) ... in guest mode Remix OS boots just fine!
I don't have an idea why this is happening and how to solve this one ... maybe someone like @RemixOS_Jason does
http://support.jide.com/hc/en-us -> Submit an idea (feature request) and ask them for a touch supported bootloader
You do not need to partition your drive, just search in the internet for the EasyBCD tool,now after sucessfully installing the remix os by the provided method of the creators of remix os in one of your already existed drive for example C: or E:,open the EasyBCD tool and go to the edit boot menu tab found in left side,in that tab see downside,you will find a option wait for user selection,select it and save settings.now reboot and you must be asked for a os to reboot into.
Or just run the official installer?
Remix OS is supposed to use the blue Windows Boot Manager, correct?
But on my Windows tablet (Lenovo Miix 700), I always get a gray boot screen which asks me to choose "Windows" or "Remix OS".
If I select "Windows", then it will load the blue Windows Boot Manager screen (without the Remix OS option).
Can anyone explain what's going wrong?
How can I force Remix OS to use the actual Windows Boot Manager?
The reason I want the actual Windows Boot Manager is because it's easy to customize the countdown timer & boot preference. With the current gray boot screen, I can only edit the timer by mounting my boot partition & editing complicated files.
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
Bios: UEFI with Secure Boot & Fast Boot disabled.
Remix OS version: Latest (3.0.207)
Installation method: Remix OS For PC "Installation Tool" (16 gb chosen, targetted to 20 gb NTFS partition, drive letter "R:" assigned)
Okay, I discovered the solution. You can read the quoted posts below. It is not possible to add Remix OS as an option in the Windows Boot Manager...if the Windows OS was installed in UEFI.
I don't know why this isn't made more public.
I wasted so many days trying all sorts of experiments, and thinking something was wrong with my system.

UEFI WBM can't load anything other than windows bootloader; so it can't chainload grub2. It does however see any /efi folder as a seperate UEFI [usb] device.

If Windows was installed in BIOS mode, you get the Windows boot menu which is touch compatible, but if Windows was installed in UEFI mode, then the Windows boot menu can't be used to load non-Windows operating systems (thanks Microsoft) and so you get the non-touch grub boot menu. Annoying, I know, and it's the reason I ended up rebuilding my Lenovo Thinkpad Helix in BIOS mode, despite the slower boot process.

I have referred my problem to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/solution-problems-booting-remix-os-dual-t3466027
However, as the stream 11 has only 32gb internal storage, I tend not to install alng with windows, so I wiped and install the Remix OS alone. When the installation finished, it cannot be reboot and the "_" on the lower left corner. Then I reinstall the Remix OS and choose run Android, it boots into it successfully. The problem is with the Grub config I guess, according to the above post. However, I cannot edit the grub menu and I would like to know how can I edit it while I do not have windows installed, I cannot find a way to do it within Remix OS........cannot even find the grub config by root explorer....... I tried to use the puppy linux in my USB to edit but same, cannot find the grub menu file. Anyone has any thoughts?

Puppy Linux has a program called grub4dos . This is a different version of grub. I have used it before with remix OS /X86. After you install it and reboot. If you do not see remix OS on the main grub screen, check in the advanced category it should be there.
