In this blog I document my journey in learning the UEFI boot process and discover that not all laptop firmware implement the UEFI standard correctly or how you’d expect.

I’m curious if anyone else has had trouble getting laptops specifically to retain their UEFI BootOrder and if anyone else here has seen behavior like this on devices recently.

  • That’s very weird, my experience with HP’s (Probook) UEFI implementation is that it actually worked quite well compared to other laptops. If even featured a basic editor to insert a specific path to an alternative bootloader in case you couldn’t figure out efibootmgr.
