Dual Boot, Mint 18, Windows 8.1, Lenovo Ideapad p500 model 20210


Dual Boot, Mint 18, Windows 8.1, Lenovo Ideapad p500 model 20210

Was working fine until I updated the software including the kernel. Now it wants to boot to windows. I have to go into setup each time and choose a linux boot. Can this be fixed?

Thank you in advance

More information is needed which you get by going to the site below and getting the boot repair software, downloading it and booting from it. Select the option to Crate BootInfo Summary rather than trying any repairs and post a link to the output here which should get you some help.

I ran it again with this result. I'm going to try booting windows. If that works I think we got it.
