Ubuntu 15.04 and Windows 8.1

Question

I have successfully installed Ubuntu 15.04 alongside Windows 8.1 and everything is great, Grub asks which OS I want to boot to and everything, until I select Windows 8.1 as the OS to boot to.

I'm not saying that Windows no longer works, just the opposite. I can boot to Windows just fine, but when I reboot and want to go to Ubuntu, nothing works. The screen goes blank for about 15 seconds then I get a message stating that a file is missing and gives the file path as

\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi
Status: 0xc000007b

I am completely new to Ubuntu.

Answered my own question. I changed the UEFI (BIOS) settings to boot to Ubuntu first which bypassed the Windows Boot Manager which was causing the problems to begin with. — Bryan Shigihara, Jun 18 '15 at 15:48

I fixed the problem myself.

I changed the boot order in UEFI (BIOS) to boot to Ubuntu first and that solved the problem.
