Cannot load Ubuntu after loading Windows
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
My laptop is a Sony Vaio SVT1412ACXS and came with Win8 before I upgraded it to Win10. Recently, I installed Ubuntu 18.04 with manual partition on my laptop. I did a dual boot.
Fast startup is switched off and Secure Boot is disabled.
Every time I use Ubuntu, shut down my laptop and open it up again, I see the GRUB screen. But every time I use Windows, shut down my laptop, and open it up to use Ubuntu, the Windows boot loader kicks in and loads Windows on.
I read that one solution (that works for me) is to set boot mode from UEFI to Legacy, restart the computer and set boot mode back to UEFI. Is there a method faster than this? Like HP Laptops have a function key from which they can choose what OS do they load
dual-boot 18.04 windows-10

There is most certainly a key you can press during early boot that lets you choose a boot entry. A quick google search says F11. Have you tried that?

@NirmalKhedkar define "use windows", are you selecting it from the grub boot menu or using Bios to boot to it?

@danzel I've tried it, doesn't work. Sony laptops have a ASSIST button to open BIOS. The key shortcuts are a bit different here.

Depends on grub installation method. Did you install it UEFI or legacy boot mode?
Seems than you have now mixed UEFI and legacy type bootloaders on your different OS:es.

@NirmalKhedkar yes UEFI is default for ubuntu nowadays but your windows might have been older and still been in Legacy at the time of it's installation?

@tatsu I dont think so... My laptop released on 2010, so I think Windows was installed on UEFI only .. Besides I never changed that Boot mode setting until recently when I want to switch back up Ubuntu after Windows...

you touching boot settings wouldn't have changed anything you cannot change from Legacy to Uefi or vise versa once the OS is already installed. ok so it's probably not this.
