[SOLVED] systemd boot loads directly into windows
My systemd boot is no longer loading the simple systemd boot menu (Arch Linux, Windows) when I select the Linux Boot Manager Entry. I don't have a picture of my system, but I'm referring to the boot menu that looks something like this. Both the Linux Boot Manger and Windows Boot manager boot directly into Windows 10 with no menu being shown. Fast Boot is disabled in Windows, there is only a timeout parameter in /boot/loader/loader.conf, and a simple entry to boot arch from btrfs in /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf. There was a default entry in loader.conf which I cleared, but that did not change the behavior). These conf files have been working fine on my system for some time until this issue.
I don't see the boot menu when booting from a live USB image like I used to either (dd'ed to a USB stick from linux). Was something changed in systemd boot?
Here is the output of efibootmgr and bootctl. You can see there are entries for Windows and Linux, and the entries boot different .efi binaries, yet booting the Windows and Linux entries behave exactly the same now (load directly into Windows 10).

49 directories, 156 filesDoes anyone have any idea why systemd boot isn't loading its boot menu and going straight into Windows even though I'm supposedly booting from its BOOTX64.EFI binary?
Thank you

Re: [SOLVED] systemd boot loads directly into windows
Try holding down the space bar (or any other key) during bootup to make the systemd-boot menu show up then use t & T to change the timeout.
EDIT: and d to change the default entry, see https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwa … temd-boot/ for more.
Once the configuration is changed in this way, $ESP/loader/loader.conf is no longer honoured.

Thanks! That's what it was. I had try a few times, and eventually resorted to mashing the keyboard to get the menu to pop up.
