    I have observed that many laptops are hard-coded to boot windows whenever possible. Even with windows bootentry missing, firmware will skip Grub set to first priority and start windows. Only way to make them start Grub is to rename bootmgfw.efi to a different name.

    i have msi gf63 thin 9sc. What should i renane it to? and in which efi partition? windows efi or garuda efi?

    [–] akash_rawal@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    In windows EFI partition, there will be an EFI/Microsoft/bootmgfw.efi file, I usually rename it to bootmgfw.efi.bak and that allows grub to load.

    Can it cause boot issues? i need to boot into windows too sometimes. And which software can i use to browse the efi partition?

    [–] akash_rawal@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

    Windows will not boot with this method. By renaming the file back to bootmgfw.efi windows will boot again but now linux won't boot. There is no clean solution, other than switch to different computer that doesn't have this issue. Because of issues like this I don't recommend dual booting. Installing only Windows or only Linux is more manageable for not-tech-savvy people.

    can that work that i enable windows boot manager and manally add the garuda entry to it?
