Simple fix for Dual Booting with Windows, GRUB not loading

[ManjaroBlack]

Hello Community,

I am not sure where this belongs, as I am not exactly asking for help, but rather sharing my experience and the fix that I found.

There are many solutions for fixing dual booting where GRUB doesn't load after installing Manjaro and Windows loads immediately. I found a simple solution for fixing this from within Windows, which has proven to be the easiest and fastest fix for this I have found to date.

The solution comes from It's FOSS:

1. Run CMD as Administrator
2. bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\manjaro\grubx64.efi
3. Reboot

That's it! Grub loads and everything is working as it should have been.
