grub2 menu to boot to the file that F2 invokes

[Ed P]

In Windows 10/11 a menu entry like this:

menuentry 'UEFI Firmware Settings' {
fwsetup
}

boots the Firmware menu which is useful but it's not the Windows Boot Manager menu that booting with F12 invokes. Suggestions?

In my EFI folder are 4 subfolders yet my Boot options only shows 2, I want to be able to add the other 2 as boot options.

/EFI
/Boot
/Microsoft
/Windows
/Grub2

Hey Ed,

I am away on vacation returning January 25.
iPad only, no Windows machine or access.
So I will look into this when I get home.

As far as your EFI directries are concerned, There are literally thousands of .efi modules aout there. Grub2Win can only automatically generate code for the most common ones like Windows boot manager and Opencore.

You can always use the "Chainload A File" option to add boot menu entries for your favorite .efi modules.

As I said, more details when I return home.

Thanks,

Dave

No problem Dave, enjoy your vacation. It's an open question so anyone can respond. :-)

BTW & FYI I created a Windows 11 script to install Ubuntu's grub2 system on my 64 bit EFI system. If you're interested I posted it here:

I've created .bat and .cmd scripts for years but creating this one for Window 11 was definitely a learning experience. Windows 11's Powershell doesn't like some old commands.

Never mind the OP UEFI Firmware menu request. The reason why my boot menu doesn't show my Grub2 system as Grub2 is because Acer systems show grub2 as Linpus Lite. Very, very strange.
