w10-au

About this tag
The w10-au tag covers discussions about Windows 10 Anniversary Update (version 1607), focusing on boot behavior and multi-boot configurations. Users report issues like extended blank screens with busy markers before boot menus appear, and unexpected extra boot options in the selection menu. These problems often arise when combining Windows 10 AU with older Windows versions (e.g., Windows 7) using tools like EasyBCD. The tag highlights changes in boot parameters and behavior introduced by the Anniversary Update, which can affect system startup times and menu clarity. Troubleshooting topics include BIOS boot order, bootloader configuration, and differences from pre-AU Windows 10 behavior.
