Luckily it's usually an easy fix if you know your way around the UEFI. Just plop grub back where it needs to be in the boot order.

Although I definitely wish Windows didn't mess with the boot order occassionally.

Also, finally, I dual-boot and I haven't actually had this happen in about a year now. I think maybe Microsoft finally stopped fucking around (with this one thing).

EDIT: Actually, it could be because I'm on Windows 10 and they stopped "Feature Updates" and all I get are security updates now. That could be why they stopped fucking with my boot order.

I had to put a password on my bios to get windows 10 to stop messing with my boot order.
