I've installed Ubuntu 20.04 as a dual boot after Windows 10. Now, when the laptop starts or restarts, it boots into Linux by default after showing the GRUB menu.

But I want to boot Windows normally by default, like before using Windows Boot Manager, replacing Linux Grub, but also want to keep Linux installed,

I want to boot Linux from BIOS Boot Manager only when needed. Please help me.

Edit: I know that the boot order can be changed and can make Windows boot default in the Linux GRUB menu, but I don't want the GRUB menu to be shown while booting to Windows, as it takes some seconds more to boot Windows, since I'll boot Windows more and Linux less.

Probably solution 1: (this method works, but I'm not sure what this actually does, want more reliable solution)

From Windows:

  1. SettingsRecoveryAdvanced StartupRestart Now

    Or Press Shift while restarting Windows to access the "Advanced Startup" menu.

  2. TroubleshootCommand Prompt:

    MOUNTVOL Z: /S
    BCDBoot C:\Windows
    

Update 1: This will disable Windows Recovery Environment. Enable WinRE by:

  1. Windows Key+R
  2. Ctrl+Shift+Enter
  3. Yes
  4. Reagentc / Enable

This will enable Windows Recovery Environment again.
