[Solved] Grub boot option being pushed down to bottom priority

When I move the grub boot option to the top priority, it gets moved down to bottom priority. I have secure boot set to false and grub is installed. What do i do to fix this? Tell me if i need to add anything.
I’m dual booting with windows.

And what exactly did you do?
What is set as default in grub.cfg?

Keep it simple, stupid.

the part where set default is goes as follows:
if [ "${next_entry}" ] ; then
  set default="${next_entry}"
  set next_entry=
  save_env next_entry
  set boot_once=true
else
  set default="0"
fi

Are you talking about your EFI menu or the default option in your grub menu?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

it’s not from the grub menu so i assume it’s from the efi menu

Re: [Solved] Grub boot option being pushed down to bottom priority

Does it happen when you boot win?
Or it just goes down every boot for no reason because your firmware feels like it?

I would recommend only having GRUB and then chainloading win but idk more details about your actual EFI entries...

Re: [Solved] Grub boot option being pushed down to bottom priority

It happens every time i boot, causing me to not be able to boot arch linux at all.
My boot options are:
Windows Boot Manager
Onboard NIC (IPV6)
Onboard NIC (IPV4)
GRUB

Probably just another crappy UEFI implementation. The following should work...
