I have Windows 11 and Endeavoros on a disk, and my problem is that even when grub is first to boot it just boots windows’ bootloader that just boots windows 11
is secure boot off in the uefi?
yes,it is
I’m assuming you installed EndeavourOS after windows was installed. can you show us your grub config. Maybe someone can see something that could cause this.
Yes i have, here
DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header
insmod part_gpt
insmod part_msdos
if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then
load_env
fi
if [ “${next_entry}” ] ; then
set default=“${next_entry}”
set next_entry=
save_env next_entry
set boot_once=true
else
set default=“EndeavourOS Linux”
fi
if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then
menuentry_id_option=“–id”
else
menuentry_id_option=“”
fi
And also your hardware specifications please with
inxi -FzDoes that mean grub doesn’t list anything besides Windows Boot Manager?
Or does it not boot grub at all even though you set it in your boot menu first?
From your EnOS, post the output of the following commands:
sudo parted -l
efibootmgr
cat /etc/default/grub
Please post the terminal output as text: copy, paste, highlight and press Ctrl-E to format

So the problem is the boot order in your UEFI menu is not respected and Windows is always default?
can you go into the bios ? what is your primary boot is that windows boot loader ?
Or grub ?
the thing is for some reason that my uefi firmware is crap and only boots the first option on the boot order then if that doesn’t work it says nothing bootable
and it only shows bios option but boots with uefi like external usb drive
Did you install grub on the same partition windows boot loader is installed ? because if that is the case then this often happens , and windows will take over grub, what happens if you create a new fat32 partition for grub activate - os prober then grub can see windows ! and windows cannot over write grub again !
Can you check this BIOS update? https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-probook-4540s-notebook-pc/5229455/swItemId/ob-229448-2
It might be one revision newer than what you have or the revision is just not displayed in your inxi output.
If you decide to update your BIOS/UEFI don’t forget to make a data backup before
i will try that but i don’t know how to create a grub bootloader
i have the lastest bios according to the drivers download on hp
