(I'm not using grub as my boot loader)

So this is what happened,

I installed grub-customizer in my debian os.

I went to general settings - default entry -predefined - then I selected windows in the drop box

I boot my pc, instead of booting to windows 8, I booted to HP recovery manager instead.

Having thought my installation of windows 8 was broken, I went to troubleshoot and select "refresh my PC". https://support.hp.com/doc-images/223/c05258902.jpg

I waited for like 2 minutes, then it asked for a windows disk or something. I don't have that so I just canceled it. I went back and found "Continue to Windows 8", turns out my windows installation is fine after all. After I'm done with Windows, I rebooted, selected debian in the boot manager, and it just takes me to Windows 8.

Idk if grub-customizer or the "refresh my pc" thing messed it up, now I can't boot to my debian partition.

The file path for the debian efi is : \EFI\debian\shimx64.efi

When I try boot from a EFI file at boot it still takes me to windows 8 instead of debian.
