    anyone has ideas? many thanks.

hp not uefi boot friendly. violates uefi specification says not use description part of boot. , of course valid description "windows boot manager". there multiple work arounds.

most hp , dual booting can copy /efi/ubuntu/shimx64.efi /efi/boot , rename shimx64.efi bootx64.efi. should allow boot of fallback or hard drive boot entry. have add new entry uefi.

some hp have way change settings, buried pretty deep.

boot-repair copies shimx64.efi bootx64.efi , backs existing bootx64.efi if check 'use standard efi file' in advanced options.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/boot-repair

if windows operating system can use "windows boot manager" description specify that entry uses shimx64.efi boot.

if esp sda1, see man efibootmgr added parameters when esp not default sda1.

    sudo efibootmgr -c -l "windows boot manager" -l "\efi\ubuntu\shimx64.efi"
