With vnc or team viewer you dont have acces to the grub menu when booting.

Please clarify what you mean "reboot from windows ...." it is unclear at the moment — j-money, Feb 25 '19 at 09:16

You need to change the default boot entry for grub and then reboot. So I think the answers in the linked question will help you although it's not a 100% duplicate I admit ... Also see this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/834205/edit-grub-from-windows — pLumo, Feb 25 '19 at 09:23

Only if you have a iDrac,KVM,VPro,ILO you can reboot a running system and choose the booting OS. Or you mount your ubuntu in Windows with EXTFS and edit it before and reboot if your running OS is Windows and if it is Ubuntu you just change the default boot partition and reboot.
