So I had Windows 10 and decided that I wanted to try out Linux. I downloaded the ISO and formatted it to a USB drive and installed it etc. A feature of Ubuntu (Linux) is that on the startup of your computer you pick which OS you want to use. Although every time I run Windows 10 it resets the boot order so that Ubuntu doesn't run and I can't pick between the two operating systems.

Basically, if I change Ubuntu to the first thing to be booted but then pick Windows Boot Manager to start Windows 10 when it gives me the option at startup, the next time I restart my PC I don't get the option between Ubuntu and Windows 10. This is because Ubuntu is moved from the first boot to the last and Windows Boot Manager is added as the first. When I select Ubuntu as the first boot, but then leave and re-enter the BIOS without ever starting Windows 10, Windows Boot Manager isn't even listed in the BIOS anymore until I select it from the startup and everything gets screwed up again.

I apologize if I did a bad job at explaining the situation.
