Luckily it's usually an easy fix if you know your way around the UEFI. Just plop grub back where it needs to be in the boot order.

Although I definitely wish Windows didn't mess with the boot order occassionally.

Also, finally, I dual-boot and I haven't actually had this happen in about a year now. I think maybe Microsoft finally stopped fucking around (with this one thing).

EDIT: Actually, it could be because I'm on Windows 10 and they stopped "Feature Updates" and all I get are security updates now. That could be why they stopped fucking with my boot order.

    I can't recall a single feature from any feature update being added.

    What users consider "Features" and what Microsoft considers "Features" are wildly different. I'd say that probably played a role in it.

    Honestly, the only useful "features" in Windows I've found in the last few years were all provided by a non-standard Microsoft app that isn't easy to find: PowerToys.

    PowerShell is nice too, but it's not new enough to be considered a "feature" anymore.

    Same here, I was wondering why my days were so (relatively) calm as of late...
