@Aryan ok not gonna lie this is cool as heck. I've been wanting this, as external Linux drives I plug in show up as firmware entries in BCD it's just a matter of swapping, if this can go beyond BCD to the UEFI level, even better, just haven't seen a good way since I know WMIC is dead these days argh. But great on you if you found a solution!

@Tamasg Can you explain a bit what you meen by the UEFI level? Asking this because it usis the WMI for changeing the boot order and stuff, instead of invokeing the wmic tool. WMI interfaces with the uefi to do its thing, so i am a bit confused. Thanks, and i am glad you found it helpful!
