BCDEdit /enum

  • Article

The BCDEdit /enum command lists entries in Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store. The /enum command is the default, so running "bcdedit" without parameters is equivalent to running "bcdedit /enum ACTIVE".

bcdedit [/store <filename>] /enum [<type> | <id>] [/v]

Caution

Administrative privileges are required to use BCDEdit to view the BCD store. Changing some boot entry options using the BCDEdit /set command could render your computer inoperable. As an alternative, use the System Configuration utility (MSConfig.exe) to change boot settings. For more information, see How to open MSConfig in Windows 10.
