bcdedit /copy syntax not correct

Powershell seems to have been the problem. In my powershell prompt I typed cmd and then ran bcdedit /copy {current} /d "No Hyper V" with no errors.


bcdedit --% /copy {current} /d "No Hyper V"

stop-parsing symbol --%

I had exactly the same problem. I found the solution on this documentation of bcdedit from microsoft. This is just a problem when you are using powershell instead cmd.

You just have to set the identifier of the boot entry into double quotes:

bcdedit /copy "{current}" /d "No Hyper-V"
