I have this working on a UEFI system. You select your Linux drive in the UEFI configuration (so the computer always boots into GRUB) and then GRUB will boot into Linux or Windows depending on the last saved option.


Sure, but whether that GRUB entry is remembered as the default is up to the UEFI not GRUB. If you pick another entry GRUB is powerless to effect it.


The GRUB_DEFAULT and GRUB_SAVE_DEFAULT settings don't affect the UEFI settings, they only affect the default boot option in GRUB's boot menu. From the UEFI configuration perspective, the boot option never changes and it's always set as the drive with GRUB installed on it.


Yes, that is indeed what I just said. :-)
