It's Windows. It happens when I boot Windows. After putting Linux back on top it stays there until some Windows boot decides to change it back. I don't even boot Windows from the BIOS menu, I chainload it from GRUB so I don't even *need* that UEFI boot entry.

then the shitty strategy proposed above and on the Arch wiki of using bcdedit to have the Windows entry load GRUB is probably your best bet :)

That won't work... Because I also boot this Windows install virtualized. And the *virtual* UEFI needs to have the Windows boot manager first, lest I accidentally boot Linux twice at the same time and corrupt everything. I just want it to stop touching my EFI vars :(

Hmm. What we need is a grub module that knows you're in a VM and let's you tell it to boot a different default when you are, so you can safely chain load without fear in the VM ;)

(but yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the tpm log changing is triggering this, and my mythical grub module won't help with that.)

* I Told You So Voice * So disable TPM and SecureBoot! Either way, I hope you figure SOMETHING out. This is a shitty situation. What hardware are you on? ...so I maybe I can stay away from it, haha.

SecureBoot is off. The TPM is on for secure key storage, though I don't really use it much. It shouldn't have anything to do with this I hope...

The tpm event log tells them the history of hash extends for all the firmware, option roms, and bootloaders during boot-up. Windows definitely uses that for things, especially if you're using bitlocker, but also for license crap. ...

Secure Boot is unrelated, and they probably aren't doing anything directly with it that you're seeing here, though the Secure Boot config variables do get hashed into tpm registers and the log, so it's best if they're the same (incl keyrings) between the two boot methods.

The VM shouldn't have a TPM, so I guess I should turn it off (I used to use it for SSH key storage, but I think I switched everything to a YubiKey by now). I did get the VM config otherwise close enough to the hardware that the licensing doesn't balk (it's an upgraded win7 OEM).
