Windows 10: Dual boot menu: problem with Windows update

I use two operating system on my laptop: Windows 10 and Ubuntu. So when I turn on the device it offers the dual boot menu to choose the OS. However after every update the boot menu ceases being visible and the system bypasses the boot menu directly to load Windows 10. This aspect makes me go through a tiresome process to bring back the menu.

What can you recommend? Right now I intend to disable Windows updates at all.

Strange Dual-Boot Menu Problem


I have a dual-boot problem. My desktop PC has two harddrives, Drive 0 and Drive 1. Drive 0 (my primary boot drive) has a single partition containing Windows 10 on Drive C:. Drive 1 has two partitions: a 100MB System Reserved partition containing the MBR, etc., and a large partition containing Windows 7 on Drive D:.

The Windows 10 OS was upgraded from Windows 7. The Windows 7OS on D: is a separate copy (not the copy used for the upgrade to Windows 10).

Both operating systems work fine, but the dual-boot menu that gives access to them is behaving very strangely. After a hard boot, the computer invariably goes straight into Windows 10. When I do a warm boot, however, the dual-boot menu is displayed, and I can choose either OS.

I have tried extending the display interval in Startup &Recovery, but it made no difference.

The odd thing is that, to begin with, the dual-boot menu was appearing correctly after every boot. The problem may have started after a Windows 10 update, but I am not sure.

Any suggestions for fixing the dual-boot menu problem?

Dual Booting with Windows 8.1


The procedure below will allow you to boot Windows separately or in dual boot configuration.
Here's what I recommend to do:

1. Disconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
2. Install Windows 10 with one drive connected.
3. After step 2, reconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
4. Boot up Windows 8.1. Open disk management and take a note of the drive letter of Windows 10 OS.
   NOTE: if you boot up Windows 10, then take a note of Windows 8.1 drive letter
5. Open Admin command prompt and type: bcdboot X:\windows where X: is the drive letter of Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 if you boot from Windows 10 in step 4)
6. Reboot the PC. You should have a dual boot screen.

NOTE: To break off the dual boot setting, Win+R->msconfig->boot and delete the none default entry on the list.
