Windows Boot Loader not letting GRUB be default Loader

I have a HP Laptop which I dual booted with Windows 8 and Linux Ubuntu. After the installation,Windows started automatically without any GRUB menu. However if I pressed F9 at the start I got "Boot Options" where Ubuntu was specified and I could boot into Ubuntu from there. So I searched the forum and found this article which explained how to restore the GRUB menu.

However even after trying following command several times I couldn't get the GRUB menu.

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

I even tried using efibootmgr to change boot order but it was no god and I couldn't get the GRUB menu as the order was resetted every time I restarted my computer.

Solution 1:

Have you tried changing the boot order in your BIOS/UEFI settings?

You can usually get to your BIOS/UEFI settings by pressing DEL, F2 or F11 right after powering on your PC. Set your HD with Ubuntu or Ubuntu's EFI entry as the first boot option and save your settings.

Your PC will restart and boot using GRUB by default.
