I just installed Ubuntu alongside my windows 10. I cannot get it to boot, as in I cannot get grub to be the bootloader

I have been trying to get ubuntu on to a partition on my windows machine and I am having a hell of a time of it. I tried once, goofed the install, cleared the partition, followed the top answer on this page Uninstall GRUB and use Windows bootloader to remove grub (I think this is where my problems started).

Then, I reinstalled ubuntu following this guide to the letter: How To Install Ubuntu Along With Windows.

I could not get it to boot back into ubuntu. When I hold delete on startup to get into the boot order settings, my main drive is just given as an option once and it says "windows boot loader." I loaded in to ubuntu using the live usb and ran boot repair, it did nothing. I used bcdedit to set the bootloader to grub by inputting this into the command prompt:

bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

Restart just goes straight to windows. If I input bcdedit into the command prompt, it even says the boot manager path is going to grub/ubuntu:

I installed hasleo easyuefi. I can move the ubuntu thing up to the top of the list, restart (straight back into windows) now it's below windows again. Please will someone help I am at the end of my wits here.

Both the Ubuntu on the hard drive in the machine and on the external I have mounted at this moment use the shimx64.efi to load their installs. Perhaps using this will get you a result in loading it.
