      I have observed that many laptops are hard-coded to boot windows whenever possible. Even with windows bootentry missing, firmware will skip Grub set to first priority and start windows. Only way to make them start Grub is to rename bootmgfw.efi to a different name.

      Probably has to do with secure boot and your Linux installation didn’t install a valid shim for uefi to boot it, thus it moves to the next entry which would be Windows.
