Problems dual-booting Windows 10/Ubuntu 14.04

Question

Completely new to Linux. I tried installing Ubuntu with Windows 10 choosing the installation option for Ubuntu to dual-boot alongside Windows Boot Manager. The installation ran smoothly and I restarted my computer. It restarted and booted Windows 10. I tried many times at it still kept booting up Windows. I also tried Boot-Repair and doing a fresh reinstall. Nothing works. When I start-up my computer, it says 'Reboot and select proper boot device.' The only way i can use my computer is if I boot a LiveCD and choose the 'Try Ubuntu' option. How do I get my computer to boot Windows/Ubuntu?

Solution

I had the exact same problem and tried everything you did too. Finally this is what helped. I opened CommandPrompt as administrator and ran the following:

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

Hope that helps.

Ubuntu can run in UEFI mode very well, there's no reason to reinstall Windows.

This gives The set command specified is not valid. Run "bcdedit /?" for command line assistance. The parameter is incorrect.

If the above solution does not help, enter the boot menu of your bios and set the Ubuntu bootloader in the list to the highest priority, i.e. shift it to #1. That helped out a friend of mine with the exact same problem.
