Could updating my bios and all that help with this issue?

I understand now. I now have a pop OS boot entry, and it’s set as first boot priority. However, I’m still having the original issue of windows putting itself first on the boot priority after rebooting from windows.

Edit: after another reboot the pop_os boot entry I just made has vanished

Thanks for explaining, I’m still quite new to Linux in general

I’m a little confused about what I’m meant to be doing in this part

You’ll need to find the partition number and the reference to the disk in /dev for your boot partition /dev/disk/by-partuuid/172a0183-3a89-4b78-b1b3-d016ca6675f7. You can try using ls -l /dev/disk/by-partuuid/172a0183-3a89-4b78-b1b3-d016ca6675f7 to see where it points (i.e. for /dev/sdb2 you would use --disk /dev/sdb --part 2).

I also, get this error “invalid numeric value Y” when trying to manually register systemd-boot

That’s what I’m doing, but it gets changed again every time I boot to windows
