3 HDs, GPT, one SSD M2 with Windows 11, one SSD M2 with Windows 10, one mechanical SATA HD with all partition, UEFI boot, each time Boot IT system boots, it loses the SATA HD partitions configured for each OS on the boot menu
In the GPT Details i can't see ONLY the SSD M2 partition NOT the SATA Partition why ?
Also in Work with Partition BootIT can see SATA Partition why ?
Power Off and ON and all it' working good with the right partition for eache OS, but after the switch from both OS again still NON partition from SATA HD in the GPT details in Boot Menu Edit
it's a very annoying issue !
Any suggestion ?

Tks

In Partition Work, can you tell us what partitions are present on the SATA HD?

The strange is that !
I can see SATA partition only during 1th power ON, after some switch from the OS or if I restart the PC the partition under partition Work are still present BUT in the Boot Menu configuration under GPT Details was not more presente so I can't choose what partition HIDE or not for each OS
If i power off my PC and power ON it's working again
It seam that BootIT UEFI make something during the switch from one OS to another

You may need to enable the "Use Boot Item Disk IDs" option in settings. That may help if it's a case of the order changing between restarts.

You could also check the BIOS for any enabled boot options that skip initializing drives on startup. Those often times behave differently between cold and warm boots. The general idea with them is to save time on boot-up, but they can cause issues when you actually need to have all the drives initialized and available prior to the OS booting.

It seam to be solved after I disable FAST BOOT under BIOS and enable "Use Boot Item Disk IDs"

I just recalled I had an issue with Fast Boot in the past. One of my NVMe SSDs often didn't appear in Partition Work or the Boot Item. I can't recall which.
