    so it is possible to set the new bootloader to legacy menu mode instead of the metro bootloader by running

    bcdedit /set "{current}" bootmenupolicy legacy

    but the change is not permanent.

    the change persists through reboots, but after a full power down, upon next boot, the metro bootloader menu is back



    how can i get the change to persist permanently???

    Start -> Run -> type "cmd" without " " and in command prompt type:
    Code:
    bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

    There's your problem - It's DEFAULT, not Current

    SOLVED

    fast startup must be disabled. this also disables hybrid shutdown which is responsible for rewriting the bcd to standard from legacy.

    legacy bootloader will persist with fast startup disabled.

    You can also hold SHIFT when you click shutdown to do a proper shutdown.
