GRUB 2 works with EFI but there are no menuentries built, os-prober-efi/30_os_prober_efi will fix this. os-prober-efi ist for analyzing/printing the EFI environment. Use os-prober-efi -h for more informations! 30_os_prober_efi ist the grub-mkconfig script (update-grub) and generates for each entry (*.efi) found in /boot/efi/EFI/... a menuentry. You can disable them in "/etc/default/grub". NOTE: /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi is the regular EFI-Loader for Windows! Possible Variables (optional) - they need export and must be stored in "/etc/default/grub": export GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER_EFI=true -- Disable the script 30_os_prober_efi export GRUB_DISABLE_EFI_directory_loader=true -- Disable directory and/or loader (first found=disabled) Example for disable the loader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgr.efi: export GRUB_DISABLE_EFI_MICROSOFT_BOOT_BOOTMGR.EFI=true Example for disable the complete folder boot/efi/EFI/grub: export GRUB_DISABLE_EFI_GRUB=true
