The idea of save default is to start the second operation system, (windows) , run updates, auto reboot, go for a coffee, and be back booted into the second operating system. if there is a keypress needed, this is not nice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It should continue after 10 seconds. Did you wait long enough? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can do this some time later, have pretty many windows and sessions open. this is actually pretty long, 10 seconds, maybe 2 would be enough, if it has to be shown, I mean it seems to works, why scaring a user with such a message? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

it works with the 10 seconds delay if would be wonderful if there could be found a solution to reduce this to 1 or even 0, as said, it works , why shocking a user with useless messages Thanks so far! cool that these patches exist -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
