Re: Boot straightly into GRUB instead of pulling out BIOS boot menu

Your Windows bootloader config looks pretty common. The command suggested above shouldn't mess anything, it should only move the {bootmgr} entry, i.e Windows boot manager, to the last position to free bios to use the second entry {541bc494-4549-11ea-af08-9829a64895aa}, i.e shimx64.efi bootloader.

If you want to try something less aggressive, run in Windows command-line:

bcdedit /set {fwbootmgr} displayorder {541bc494-4549-11ea-af08-9829a64895aa} /addfirst

It will move the Q4OS Centaurus entry to the first position.

Still boots into Windows

Though the output did change

Re: Boot straightly into GRUB instead of pulling out BIOS boot menu

It looks like something (Windows ?, BIOS ?) hardly forces ordering Q4OS entry just after the Windows one. Unfortunately no idea what's going on. We will try to investigate it though and post a feedback, if we figure out something else.

Anyone else noticed similar issue ?
