I upgraded (?) to Win 8.1 about a month ago. I thought it odd that I
couldn't get my Grub or gummiboot menu when I rebooted, but I thought, "I
can fix it later." Just two days ago, and verified last night and this
morning, that Win 8.1, regardless of what one does to change the boot order,
even installing distros like Ubuntu, et al, who have paid microsoft for
Secure Boot Keys, changes the boot order back to windows and boots from an
internal windows image.
I've ran into this issue too on my Arch Linux/Windows 8.1 dual-boot.
However, I found a way to fix this.
In an administrator mode console on Windows, type in this command:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\wherever_the\bootloader_is.efi
Of course, change the path to where the actual bootloader you are
using is. Reboot, and hopefully the proper bootloader menu shows up.
(Found this on Arch's wiki. Hope it helps)
I saw this too. The only negative side to it is, depending on what
somebody wants to do with their machine, efibootmgr becomes irrelevant.
In my mind, it just limits what I can do with my machine. The real
option, if it's available, is to not use windows. :)
