Re: Grub recovery after windows 10 has changed the boot

[Derek Cramer <cramerd@xxxxxxxxx>]

If Windows has indeed hijacked the boot loader, you can fix it from the Windows command prompt with the following:

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\fedora\grubx64.efi

Obviously this assumes you have local admin rights on Windows.

Derek

I am also a Linux admin, although I am adept enough with Google to
guess that these instructions might help:

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-windows-10-fast-startup

Basically, with Fast Startup enabled, windows never really shuts down
but goes into hibernation, so next time you "power up" it is just
waking up.  So, you never get a chance to see the GRUB menu.

If fast startup isn't set, then you probably will need to boot off
rescue linux media and fix the boot order with `efibootmgr`.
