I don't even know how it happened. Has Windows 10 done anything similar to you guys?

Found your problem

Nah, have 3 Os' on my laptop and that hasn't happened. Installed windows 10 just for MS Office but i still can't find proper cracked versions of Office Tools fml :^)

Not necessarily a Windows problem, I've been fuvked over by the Asus bios though

Fair enough, for whatever reason I didn't consider that it might've been the bios fucking with the boot devices. >>62419156
idk about OP but libreoffice seems to kill battery life pretty quickly for me.

When I was setting up dual boot on my laptop dealing with the windows boot manager and grub was a fucking nightmare. Especially because I don't know too much about how they work, just the basics. Somehow I got it working I don't dare to touch it again
Good luck anon

I gave up on my dual boot dreams when I realized the only way I was getting it to work was if I downgraded the bios to a previous version that supported it. I would rather not brick my several thousand dollar PC over a slight speed advantage when applicable and settled on just using it in VM's
When I was trying to dual boot arch on my laptop Windows and UEFI firmware was a nightmare.
Go to windows command prompt as admin, enter:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
Then restart your computer
