How to Enable or Disable Graphical Boot Menu In Windows 10

The graphical boot options menu or bootloader was first introduced with Windows 8 and is the default bootloader in Windows 10 as well. The new graphical, modern or metro boot menu allows you quickly access troubleshooting tools, startup options and more importantly, can be navigated via mouse or touch input.
Although the new boot menu offers more options, there are users who still prefer using the classic black and white boot menu.
The new graphical boot menu can be enabled or disabled with ease in Windows 10. You just need to execute a simple command in elevated Command Prompt in order to disable or enable the new bootloader. The EasyBCD 2.3 for Windows 10 (free for non-commercial use) also supports enabling or disabling the new boot menu.
