Multiple Ubuntu listed in Boot Options menu
This question is a follow on from a question I asked recently unable to boot in to Ubuntu after windows fall creator updates
I am able to boot in to Ubuntu but have noticed that 2 Ubuntu entries are added every time I go in to the BIOS. The second Ubuntu entry with the lowercase 'u' seems to be the only entry that works.
Boot Option Menu
OS boot Manager
Ubuntu <TOSHIBA MQ01ABF050>

Boot From EFI File
I did read this Q/A double Ubuntu entry in bios boot options but seems a different issue. Assistance would be appreciated.

Ok so far I have done this on command line:sudo efibootmgr -vto print out active and current boot options -thensudo efibootmgr -b hex# -Bto delete repetitive options that do not work. There were many to delete. I have booted in a few times since and new entries are still being added but at least there is a way to delete even if a temporary fix. It is the file ending in shim64.efi that works not the grub64.efi for me at least.
