I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a partition of an external disk drive connected to my HP 400-224 PC. The Ubuntu boot partition is sdb. EFI mode is enabled for both Ubuntu and Windows 8.1. Secure boot is enabled; fast boot is disabled; legacy boot is disabled. When I boot Ubuntu and restart within Ubuntu, grub-efi lets me choose whether I want Ubuntu or Windows. However, if I go back to Windows and restart, Windows always changes my boot order, placing ubuntu last in the list. I always have to manually modify my UEFI settings and place Ubuntu ahead of Windows if I want to go back to Ubuntu. This seems like too much work. Is there any way to keep Windows from doing this?
