Why does my pc have a heart attack everytime this bloatware updates? Then it takes forever to load once I shutdown and restart. Thanks Bill Gate$ (satan).

Memory is hazy since this was three years ago but I remember windows not handling/liking multiple EFI partitions. Perhaps that has changed, or the disk order matters or something.

Like there's this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/windows-security/cannot-boot-windows-on-primary-hard-disk-uefi

You may also encounter this issue if a second hard drive is added that has a pre-existing EFI partition and bootable OS on it as well. Because of differences in hardware and firmware boot options, it's unknown which Windows OS will be set as the primary boot disk.

I dual boot Ubuntu with Windows 10 on a second drive since 2-3 years, but I don't understand why it works then. I only have one EFI partition (whatever that is) though, on my Linux drive, and I can boot from either drive just fine.
