I have tried to Google it but I can't find anything  that I believe I can do. I tried to use Live Pmagic and Gparted but I am afraid that I am doing more harm than good!

Anyone has a good link or can explain how to do it?

Thanks,
Klaus

Just put Remix OS entry first in grub.cfg. Then it should show first Remix OS, and then Windows 10. After the countdown it will directly boot into Remix OS. grub.cfg is normally on your boot partition. Hope this helps!

I have the same issue... I would prefer Windows be the default OS selection and set the timout timer to 10 seconds.

Do you have an example of a grub.cfg with Windows as the default?

I have two grub.cfg files on the Remix OS drive:
R:\RemixOs\boot\grub.cfg
R:\RemixOs\efi\RemixOs\grub.cfg

Which one do I edit?
What do I insert/edit in the file?


CONTENTS: R:\RemixOs\boot\grub.cfg:
terminal_output gfxterm
set timeout=30

set prefix=/efi/RemixOS
if [ -s $prefix/themes/Aurora-Penguinis/theme.cfg ]; then
source $prefix/themes/Aurora-Penguinis/theme.cfg
elif [ -s /isolinux/remixos.png ]; then
background_image /isolinux/remixos.png
elif [ -s /isolinux/android-x86.png ]; then
background_image /isolinux/android-x86.png
fi

menuentry 'Resident mode - All your data and apps are saved ' --class remixos  --class android-x86 --class gnu-linux --class os {
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /kernel
linux /kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 DATA= USB_DATA_PARTITION=1
initrd /initrd.img
}

}

search --no-floppy -f /EFI/RemixOS/theme.cfg --set=efi --hint hd0,msdos1
set prefix=(${efi})/EFI/RemixOS
if [ -e ${prefix}/theme.cfg ]; then
source ${prefix}/theme.cfg
else
set timeout=30
fi



CONTENTS: R:\RemixOs\efi\RemixOs\grub.cfg
set prefix=/efi/RemixOS

if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then
  set have_grubenv=true
  load_env
fi

set default="${saved_entry}"
function savedefault {
saved_entry="${chosen}"
save_env saved_entry
}

function load_video {
if [ x$feature_all_video_module = xy ]; then
insmod all_video
else
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
insmod vbe
insmod vga
insmod video_bochs
fi
}

if loadfont unicode ; then
set gfxmode=auto load_video
insmod gfxterm
insmod gettext
fi

terminal_output gfxterm
set timeout=30

if [ -s $prefix/themes/Aurora-Penguinis/theme.cfg ]; then
source $prefix/themes/Aurora-Penguinis/theme.cfg
fi

#OTHER_OS_PLACEHOLDER

menuentry 'Remix OS' --class remixos --class android-x86 --class gnu-linux --class os {
insmod ntfs
insmod exfat
savedefault
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /RemixOS/kernel
linux /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 DATA= SRC=RemixOS CREATE_DATA_IMG=1
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
}


Thank you!
