# 2PXE Boot Menu Configuration

DeployR Community includes 2PXE for the use of PXE booting the Windows based DeployR boot images, WinPE/RE x64 and Arm64. The default menu countdown is set for 10 seconds, and the default menu selection is configured to exit. These defaults can now be changed by using the 2PXE Config Editor.

Default menu countdown: To change the default menu countdown, launch the 2PXE Config Editor. Toggle the Show advanced switch and then located the EnableMenuCountdown option. Change this to the desired value. A value of 30000 is equal to 30 seconds.

Default menu selection: To change the default menu selection to the DeployR boot image, with the 2PXE Config Editor showing advanced options, locate the DefaultMenuItemId option. Find the corresponding boot image in the DeployR dashboard and copy the full guid from the address bar. Paste this value in the DefaultMenuItemId field. Once finished, click on Verify and then click Save. The next PXE boot should now reflect the changes:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.2pintsoftware.com/deployr/1.3/setup-deployr-community/2pxe-boot-menu-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
