HI !

I have installed Linux Lubuntu 18.10 alongside my windows 10 installation. After initial troubles (that PC boots automatically to windows) I found out that this can be aborted by F9 and there I chose Linux. If I wanted to boot in windows I simply did not press anything. This was working but every time I wanted to boot in Windows, windows tried to repair the hard drive. (There is nothing to repair its partition was just resized to be smaller.) I could always skip it so I did not bother with it. But now windows does not give me the option to skip it. It starts automatically repairing it and then it says it failed. 

 

If I look in efibootmgr  under Linux, after each start of Windows (it's trying to repair hard drive) it changes the boot order. It is sort of prevention of preinstalled windows that no other OS will be installed? Can I fix it without the need to install my windows from recovery?

 

I want to use both Windows and Linux. I kind of just started to look into dual boot settings so I guess that is where I made mistake...Is there a way how to say to windows there is nothing wrong with its drive?

 

Thanks for reply

Hi

When you say a problem with the drive?

Did Linux install cleanly alongside Windows?

 

Is Windows set to FAST START UP?  If so then stop it.

Next would be to consider the actual boot manager...

You may have 2 or more Boot Managers, I do.

Windows is an authoritative system that doesn't like anything else. With the UEFI Secure Boot on the side it's even impossible to boot into anything except the original system. Save yourself some troubles and install linux in Virtualbox as it doesn't need much memory or cpu resources.

Hi

Secure Boot with Linux is possible, perhaps not desirable, therefore it is usually skipped in favour of Legacy boot.

SHIM and MOK  for instance can install a Secure Boot key if wanted.

Debian is not yet a Secure Boot linux to the best of my knowledge.
