I have a UEFI system.I installed Ubuntu as a dual boot. I followed this https://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ tutorial. As for the tutorial it says if I don't get Grub as bootloader I have to run bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi in cmd in windows.

As I didn't get Grub as the bootloader after the installation I ran the command in Admin prompt in windows. But still I'm not getting Grub as the default bootloader. I have switched off secure boot as well.

Now if I need to switch to Ubuntu or log to Ubuntu every time I have to press F9 on startup and select Ubuntu from there so it would select grub. Then only I can log into Ubuntu.

How can I fix this ? How can I set Grub as the default bootloader.

    open the firmware settings and change the boot order. Set the OS selection to Ubuntu and put it at the top of the list. – ravery Dec 02 '17 at 16:13

    What brand/model system. Some will not let you set ubuntu entry as default in UEFI as they use description, and only valid description is "Windows Boot Manager".
