Which bcdedit command did you use? Presumably since you mention yes or
True as attribute values, you used:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu True
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu Yes
Did you then try the other suggestion?
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
After using one of those, run bcdedit (no arguments) to list the
configs. For the first command (displaybootmenu), you should see one of
the boot entries list displaybootmenu. Since the command specifies the
{bootmgr} config entry, bcdedit should show:
Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume4
path \EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BOOTMGFW.EFI
description Windows Boot Manager
locale en-US
inherit {globalsettings}
default {current}
resumeobject {93db0b77-b7b0-11e9-8457-c422263ccb27}
displayorder {current}
{79ec5fd5-9799-11ee-91c7-48f17fd1afaa}
toolsdisplayorder {memdiag}
timeout 10
displaybootmenu Yes
The other parameters may be different for you, but after using bcdedit
to enable the displaybootmenu attribute then it should show up. Notice
my timeout (to show the boot menu) is 10 seconds before the bootmgr
selects the active (default) boot config. Make sure your timeout is set
to something that lets you see the boot menu, so it doesn't just flash
past too quickly to see or read. You can change the timeout with:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} timeout 30
Mine is 10 seconds (which is actually 7 seconds when measured). Use
whatever timetout you like for how long you want the boot menu to stay
on the screen before it automatically selects the default boot config
(typically the one with {current} identifier).
Is Fast Startup disabled? It will be disabled if you already disabled
hibernation mode. If you kept hibeneration enabled, you need to
separately disable Fast Startup. To ensure that you are not shutting
down into [hybrid] hibernate mode, run "shutdown /r".
When cold booting, and *before* the OS begins to load (i.e., at the POST
screen), can you hit F5 (or whatever your BIOS recognizes at the POST
screen) to get into the BIOS settings? With USB-attached keyboards,
I've encountered some setups where the keyboard is dead until the OS
loads. Whether PS/2 or USB, the LEDs on the keyboard should flash to
show it got a reset signal on a cold boot.
After using bcedit to enable the boot menu, and after a cold boot, what
do you see if you hit Esc as prompted? What does the "Startup Menu"
look like? From the article:
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/22455-enable-disable-f8-advanced-boot-options-windows-10-a.html
under the Contents section, the Advanced Startup Options screen should
get replaced with the example screens where you see listed or enumerated
choices which include Safe Mode (no networking), Safe Mode with
Networking, and Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
