Feb 28, 2020 at 18:55 comment added DrMoishe Pippik One HP machine on which I wanted dual boot only worked when I renamed the original boot manager (bootmgfw.efi) and replaced it with the shimx64.efi or grub64.efi . See superuser.com/questions/1289741/dual-boot-ubuntu-disappeared and askubuntu.com/questions/244261/…
Feb 28, 2020 at 18:26 comment added oldfred Some with HP have said UEFI update helps which it looks like you have done. But using efibootmgr to set boot order only works once. Grub uses efibootmgr to make it first in boot order with updates or Boot-Repair. Some also have said changing boot order in HP's UEFI then does stick or the edit of BCD so Windows sync of BCD & UEFI does not overwrite an Ubuntu entry.
Feb 28, 2020 at 17:28 comment added Ramhound That is exactly the point. Ubuntu works just fine with GPT. So the advice to switch to MBR won't actually solve your particular problem, alright so it will solve your problem, because hybrid shutdown be enabled. However, just disabling hibernation will do that, so switching to MBR is to put it simply **bad advice.
Feb 28, 2020 at 17:24 comment added Simon Aldrich I've been using EFI to boot Ubuntu for years, that's not the problem! The problem is that Windows Boot Manager seems to annihilate Grub. I will try disabling hibernation though.
Feb 28, 2020 at 17:22 comment added Ramhound Ubuntu fully supports EFI (thus GPT due to the Windows EFI/GPT requirement) there is absolutely no reason to switch to MBR. Suspect the behavior is explained by hybrid shutdown (i.e. Fastboot). Try disabling hibernation and see if that helps.
