Windows Boot Manager Duplicated

[Masahide Okamoto]

Hi
I want to deploy the master OS image to multiple machines using by clonezilla.
I made Windows master image and deploy to other machine that is the same specification.
I found that Windows Boot Manager duplicated on BIOS.
Do you have any solutions?

OS:Windows 10
Clonezilla:v3.1.2-9

Actually after restoring, if you do not reboot and enter command line prompt in Clonezilla live environment. Then run:
1. sudo -i
2. efibootmgr | grep Windows
You will see there is only one Windows boot entry. For example, this is the one I had in a VMWare WS:

root@debian:~# efibootmgr | grep Windows
Boot0007* Windows Boot Manager  HD(1,GPT,b946bc85-2ffd-4305-b12b-a75d5bd83a2d,0x800,0x32000)/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi)

Now, if you boot into MS Windows, the smart MS Windows will add another windows boot entry in your BIOS. So if you boot into Clonezilla live again, enter command line prompt, run the above commands again. You will see something like:

root@debian:~# efibootmgr | grep Windows
Boot0007* Windows Boot Manager  HD(1,GPT,b946bc85-2ffd-4305-b12b-a75d5bd83a2d,0x800,0x32000)/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi)
Boot000D* Windows Boot Manager  HD(1,GPT,b946bc85-2ffd-4305-b12b-a75d5bd83a2d,0x800,0x32000)/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi)57494e444f5753000100000088000000780000004200430044004f0042004a004500430054003d007b00390064006500610038003600320063002d0035006300640064002d0034006500370030002d0061006300630031002d006600330032006200330034003400640034003700390035007d00000061000100000010000000040000007fff0400

Apparently the culprit is MS Windows... Actually I have no idea how to deal with this. If anyone knows, please let us know.
Thanks.
