To restore the bracketed phrase, shorten the friendly name.

However, the boot loader omits the bracketed phrase from the boot menu when the friendly name and the bracketed phrase together exceed 70 characters.

Note When a boot entry is configured for debugging ( /debug /debugport) or for Emergency Management Services (EMS) ( /redirect) on an x86- or an 圆4-based system, the boot loader appends a bracketed phrase ( or ) to the friendly name that appears in the boot menu. However, more precise strings, such as the ones that follow, make the boot choice much easier. A string that precisely describes the entry can save significant time and effort.įor example, the following friendly name strings add little value. You can also change the friendly name to make it easier to recognize customized boot entries.

Typically, after you copy a boot entry, you change the friendly name of the newly created entry to distinguish it from the original. In Windows, the items that appear in the Windows Boot Manager are the descriptions of each boot entry.
