I appreciate the reply, I’ll have to try that. I ran some other fix commands earlier but haven’t tested with a reboot yet. If the pc tries to boot to windows (without Grub), I literally have to power off the psu until the cmos clears, then turn back on in order to get to the boot menu. Win 10 once had a uefi setting console, but it’s no more, apparently. If my earlier commands or your fix doesn’t work, bye windows.
Edit: neither worked. Efibbootmgr WILL move Mint up in the boot order but windows always stays on top. Figures. I thought about deleting the windows boot Mgr entry, but I’m not sure what that would do. Making the winbootmgr inactive fails. Idk.
Edit2: I decided fuck it; deleted the windows entry in efibbootmgr. Seems to have fixed it. I can still boot to windows if I choose but the select OS option comes up by default now. Yay. It appears winbootmgr has reinserted itself in efibootmgr but as a lower priority than Mint. Oddly, I’m still getting a “Grubx64.efi not found” message for half a second before the OS select comes up. I can live with that unless it’s a sign of problems to come?
If a business can’t or doesn’t want to provide their service after 7pm, their closing time should be 7pm (or earlier), not 730pm. It’s not “assbag” to go into an open business and expect to receive whatever service they allegedly provide, and it certainly doesn’t warrant extraordinary tips.
