I think I've done everything reasonable in my firmware to ensure booting by

Storage boot option control      UEFI only
Other PCI device ROM priority    UEFI only

maybe this will help.
Debian, and others show in GRUB, but not windows 10.
HP workstation: I press F9 on boot for a boot menu
I get a listing:
UEFI - debian
>other systems<
UEFI - Windows Boot Manager

It boots fine.
Restart and I get GRUB, but without a windows option



The boot device is currently /dev/sdb which has a GPT partition table, and
its first few partitions are

number  size   mount point
1       953MB  /boot
2       2GB    /
3       10GB   /usr
11      9GB    /home
13      48GB   swap
5       953MB  unmounted, filesystem="grub2 core.img", flags="bios_grub"

The first four are ext4.

I do recall it was a pain to make d-i keep the GPT table not overwrite it
with an MBR one.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte H170 with 32 GiB RAM and I run Debian 12.8.  I
swear I ran a program that showed me EFI boot vars (if they exist) and it
showed nothing.  But now I can't remember what that program was.  How can I
ensure that I'm actually booted using EFI?
