That was probably XP, so about twenty years ago. I believe using it to write currently requires booting to Safe Mode, and if I've got to reboot, it might as well be to the Debian install disc/USB. Having got to chroot, I just use the up-arrow and it remembers the efibootmgr command I used last time. I haven't looked for a while, if it's possible to set NextBoot from normal Windows it would be worth doing. -- Joe
