I have a laptop with Windows 8.1 installed. I installed Ubuntu Gnome 15.04. I can not access the GRUB to select Ubuntu, the computer just boots straight to windows.
I have found the following articles, and tried everything described with no success:
Grub not showing on startup for Windows 8.1 Ubuntu 13.10 Dual boot
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi
This post as well as the Boot-Repair program told me to try these commands from windows. After running the commands I'm told that they were successful but the computer still boots into windows.
I have disabled secure boot and fastboot.
Google gave me these instructions: To access the Boot Menu: Open the Charm Bar by pressing Windows Key-C. Click on Settings. Click on Change PC Settings. Click on General. Scroll to the bottom and click on Advanced Startup -> Restart Now. Click on Use A Device. Click on Boot Menu.
Although after clicking Use a Device "Boot Menu" is not an option, only my drives. I can't find the link at the moment, but I was also told to restart into the UEFI menu and change the priority of Boot Options, although, as I expected, only drives are listed under boot options, not partitions or OS Installations.
Does anyone know what I need to do in Windows 8.1 to gain access to my Ubuntu installation.
