Hello Shubham

How far did you get before becomming stuck?

Have you used cmd prompt before, and have you used bcdedit before?

Hello SHUBHAM, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

You should be able to do a system restore at boot using a restore point (if available) dated before you made this change to undo it.

Hello Brink, sorry but I did not think that this type of change could be undone via system restore. If you are correct, then that is a much simpler and straight forward solution, than the one in the quoted thread.

If a system restore doesn't help, then yeah you could open a command prompt at boot using Option Three below to set it back.
