Dang. Didn't know that `bootcfg` would add another boot entry instead of overwriting the current one.
Also: I added the top one as `C:\Windows`, so why does the boot manager not show that anywhere?

`msconfig` shows it properly.
Somehow this Dell system would not boot with the stock configuration of `\WINDOWS`, but `C:\Windows` worked fine. Not sure why.

Without the `C:` bit, it would not boot and Automatic Repair not only failed to repair, it also did not persist the `StrTrail.txt` file (when going to the command prompt it was not to be found on any of the drive letters).
Running `bcdboot C:\Windows` on the recovery partition fixes the boot problem by specifying the drive letter to boot from.
I did not know this would add a second BCD entry using the same caption, so that was confusing me as I assumed (the mother of all mistakes) it overwrites.
