I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 with Windows 10. No matter what I do, it always boots up Windows first. I have tried four ways:

  • Changed boot order using sudo efibootmgr -o command on Ubuntu.
  • Used bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi to change the windows boot file.
  • Used EasyUEFI on windows to change the File Path of the windows boot manager to both \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi and \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi.
  • Again used EasyUEFI to change the order of different boot profiles.

Disappointingly, every boot process starts directly booting the windows. On checking the boot order and its settings I find that there are two windows boot profiles. One of these two always stay at the top, and is uneditable by every means that I tried.

I prefer a GUI for stuff I barely understand. So, I use grub-customizer for this exact reason. It is confirmed working for me on 16.04,02 and 16.10. It allows you to set the boot order and default boots from a convenient GUI.

If you want to try it out, you can add the ppa which is ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer

Then;

$sudo apt-get update

and finally

$ sudo apt-get grub-customizer

It should show up in your tools menu somewhere.

  • GRUB Customizer is unlikely to work in this case, since it appears that GRUB isn't launching at all. This is a known problem on some buggy EFIs. – Rod Smith May 16 '17 at 14:02
