I set
GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows Boot Manager"
in /etc/default/grub
and it works.

I have Windows 8 dual booting with Fedora 20. Linux is the first one Windows is the third. I want windows to be the default. I am using instructions from GRUB 2.
grep "submenu\|^\menuentry" /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg | cut -d "'" -f2
gives
Fedora, with Linux 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 Fedora, with Linux 0-rescue-62ce70aff0cf43989df5b1dfd30caf79 Windows Boot Manager
when I set the default entry by not recommended way:
set default="2"
Windows becomes default entry. But recommended way
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg grub2-set-default "Windows Boot Manager" grub2-editenv list
gives
saved_entry=Windows Boot Manager
but after
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
The default entry is again Linux.
What I am doing wrong?
