-====== Fix EFI boot manager ignores boot order ======
-===== Problem =====
-Boot order cannot be altered by "efibootmgr". After rebooting Windows 10 is again the first OS that is booted. This problem is caused by laptop UEFI firmware which hardcoded looks for: /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi.
-===== Fix =====
-Step 1: replace bootmgfw.efi
-  cd /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot
-  mv bootmgfw.efi bootmgfw.original.efi
-  cp /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi ./bootmgfw.efi
-Step 2: Make Grub enry for original bootmgfw.efi
-Problem with this is that the Windows 10 entry in the grub boot menu is now also pointing to a grubx64.efi copy. Looping into grub again when you select "Windows 10".
-So we need to make an extra grub menu entry pointing to the original bootmgfw.efi
-  nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom
-Add the following to the bottom of the file:
-  menuentry 'Windows 10-fix' {
-    search --fs-uuid --no-floppy --set=root 502B-5BC6
-    chainloader (${root})/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.original.efi
-  }
-Where 502B-5BC6 is obtained from finding the EFI partition with fdisk -l and the UUID with blkid:
-  fdisk -l
-  Device         Start       End   Sectors  Size Type
-  /dev/sda1       2048    534527    532480  260M EFI System

-  blkid /dev/sda1
-  /dev/sda1: UUID="502B-5BC6" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI system partition" PARTUUID="91ffaa62-7eed-  4257-99f0-1d5ce807e80f"
