Dual Boot Arch and Win 10

Hi,

I have searched around, but cannot seem to find the solution.
I got this going, 3 or so years ago, but can't seem to remember how I did it.

My system:
HP ENVY M6 1114

Windows 10 boots without the Grub menu.

To get to Arch I have to press (at boot):

ESC -> F9 -> "Boot Manager" menu:
- OS Boot Manager
- grub
- arch
- Boot from EFI
- Notebook Hard Drive

I select "grub", it then goes to the grub menu and Arch boots normally.

I ran efibootmgr and made sure that "grub" was the first choice, but it seems it defaults back to "Internal Hard Disk or Solid State Disk"

The EFI partition is vfat, does that make a difference, does it have to be btrfs?

The following seems to run fine:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi/EFI --bootloader-id=grub --recheck

When I run "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" I get:

Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-linux
Found initrd image: /boot/intel-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-linux.img
Found fallback initrd image(s) in /boot:  intel-ucode.img initramfs-linux-fallback.img
Warning: os-prober will not be executed to detect other bootable partitions.
Systems on them will not be added to the GRUB boot configuration.
Check GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER documentation entry.

Root partition isn't a btrfs filesystem.
This script only supports snapshots of the btrfs filesystem.
If you think an error has occurred , please file a bug report at " [url]https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs[/url] "
Nothing to do. Abort.
done

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I am kind of stuck.

Regards,
Craig

Re: Dual Boot Arch and Win 10

If your UEFI doesn't automatically store entries it's likely you have to adjust the default choice directly in the firmware menu of the laptop
