Windows 10: Windows restarted and altered UEFI?

I assembled a new computer. I took my old SSD with Windows 10 installed, hooked it up to my new computer, and made sure that it wasn't set to boot in the UEFI. This was working fine for several restarts and shut off's. My new SSD with a fresh install of Windows 10 was set to be the only drive to boot in the UEFI and restarting my computer would auto boot my new drive just fine, like I had set the UEFI to do. I left my computer on overnight to download a game and when I woke up my computer had automatically restarted and booted my old drive. I looked at the settings in my UEFI and the boot sequence had been altered. Is this something that Windows 10 is programmed to do? And why? I'm afraid a person is accessing my computer remotely. I'm thinking about moving to Linux. Does Linux do these shady things?

Trouble installing windows 7 on RAID in UEFI

As the title says, I'm trying to install Windows on a RAID array in uefi on my Maximus V Formula. When using legacy ROM I can install just fine but I go into CSM and change settings to UEFI only, I can build the array in the UEFI Raid driver (IRST tab in "BIOS") but the array does not show up in the boot menu and when I try to install windows (boot from UEFI DVD drive), The drive does not show up in the Windows install. The next thing I tried was to enable UEFI and legacy oprom in CSM, boot from UEFI DVD drive and install to the RAID array (probably detected by legacy oprom) and it will install. After first reboot, Windows Boot manager will show up as an option in the BIOS boot menu so I set that as first boot device and reboot. I will get to the starting windows screen and then BSOD (too quick to get codes) The last thing I tried was Changing to legacy mode and installing windows to a different drive. once installed, I initialized the Raid array as GPT and rebooted, changed csm back to UEFI only but they RAID array still doesn't show in the boot device list so I repeated the earlier process hoping that It might work because I had initialized as GPT but it still BSODs on starting windows screen. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I think you were on track with your first try. Windows installer probably needs the RAID driver in order to detect it on install.
