Are you looking for a boot file to manually boot from the EFI partition?
You can also use the bootmgfw.efi file to boot the system manually. You can try it this way:
1. Turn on the notebook and immediately tap the F9 key for boot options menu.
2. Select Boot From (EFI) File and hit Enter. You'll see a file system that looks like a huge string of numbers and characters.
3. Click the file system. From there navigate to EFI -> Microsoft -> Boot -> bootmgfw.efi. If you hit Enter, the system will boot into Windows.
If you don't see a file system or the EFI entry, your EFI partition is corrupted.
