Dual booting issue

Did some work for a client yesterday and they insist that I work on a Cisco VPN, so had to work in Windows. Everything worked fine.

However, booted this morning and found that I can't get past this part.

Now, I'm not sure if this is a windows problem, or rather a uefi/boot thing. As I arrow down, the selection stops at the Windows Boot Manager - I can't carry on to EFI default loader. It just sits there for a long time (over 10 minutes) and I have to do a hard reset to get out of this.

What is this boot software (I'm guessing it's not grub, right?) What could be wrong with it? Any ideas?

Re: Dual booting issue

OK - I unplugged a new peripheral (a hdmi monitor) and then I could click further. I'd like to raise this as a bug further upstream. Any ideas of where to go to do this?

Re: Dual booting issue

That looks like the default gummiboot menu.  Beyond that I can't be of any help.

Re: Dual booting issue

Looks like a firmware issue to me.

If the troublesome peripheral is plugged in, can you use the UEFI boot menu from your firmware (BIOS) options without issues or does that also stall?
