Hello, you Rapscallions and Ne'er-Do-Wells,
Whenever I boot to Windows and restart, the Windows Boot Manager puts itself at the top of the boot order and all boot-related settings are reset to their defaults. This leads to a long loop consisting of rebooting, forgetting to press F11, and booting to Windows to wait approximately ten years for Windows to boot fully (so it doesn't freak out next time I boot and run a minimum of 1^100 CHKDSKs)
Is there any way I could prevent this? I've tried setting the "wait for boot command" setting to 65535ms so that I remembered to press F11 every time, but that resets when I boot to Windows, too. I've tried disabling every boot option aside from Gummiboot, but if I boot to Windows from Gummiboot the Windows Boot Manager option re-enables at the top of the boot order once again.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try these commands from Windows:
bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No
bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures
These need to be run in an Administrator shell.
If they don't work, replace "{default}" with "{current}"

This did not work. The commands changed the values correctly in the output by BCDEdit:

But it didn't change the fact that the settings reset each time I boot into Windows. Thanks for the info, though. I had no idea that tool existed.
