Never mind that, Windows 10 did an update a couple of days ago, and now my dual boot screen has gone. I literally can’t start my Linux Mint anymore, it boots straight to Windows :(

There is a way to get it back with the command line, but my computer nerd days are over.

I’m assuming that command needs to be edited to whatever my setup is, I have no idea.

Just spam del or f2 keys when you are turning your PC on (or check your motherboards/laptops manual for which key it is) that should put you into your bios and there check the boot options/order.

Tho you can also enter the bios through windows, can just search windows 10 enter bios and that should give you the answers

I found an old picture of what my boot screen used to look like. If I wanted to do it via bcedit, what would my command line be? Sorry for being so clueless, I’m just really scared I’ll brick my PC completely.

Before you mess with commands I suggest you to do what I mentioned before. The picture you sent has the grub bootloader and assuming windows didn’t nuke it, when you choose your Linux drive to boot first it should come back.

Also changing the boot order will not break your pc

Thanks. It was actually F12, I managed to catch it for the split second it showed; for some reason it doesn’t always show the commands when I switch it on.

This is what I got. Do I just select Ubuntu?

Ideally I’d like the selection menu to show, but Windows as the one to start if I don’t choose anything.
