Remove windows boot manager and use grub instead

Question

I have a dual boot with windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04 when I boot my PC the windows boot manager shows up and I get the choice between Windows and Ubuntu. The problem is that when I choose Ubuntu, grub shows up and give me the same choice again. This happened since I installed EasyBCD which I later removed. Is there a way to only get grub and not the windows boot manager?

Solution

A very simple solution that works for me every time is to get into bios and check for boot order. Just go to bios and put ubuntu above windows and then grub will show you.

Is your system configured to boot with UEFI or CSM (BIOS Legacy Boot)?

You should not remove Windows boot manager because Windows requires it. The boot entry you see in Grub is simply performing a chain booting from Grub to Windows boot manager. The best thing you could do is change the boot selection delay to zero second so the default boot OS will be booted instantly without giving you the selection option. This option is available to Grub and Windows boot manager, so set the windows boot delay to zero to not see the windows boot manager selection menu.

i tried this method, but all it did was changing the order that i see the windows boot manager and grub, now grub shows first, i would like to have only grub and not the windows boot manager

Just to confirm you only have one hard drive / SSD right? After running install-grub ... run update-grub right away and report if any errors. I modified the answer to reflect this change.
