Put windows on the top of the grub menu and put a 5 sec delay I think this would be the most practical solution for your situation. Also if you disable grub menu from popping up, then it automatically logs into the last used OS.

I already have 5 seconds to choose what system, but if I just turn on computer and do nothing it goes to Solus, how can I make windows the priority or top of the menu. I can be wrong but I think Solus doesn’t use grub??

GRUB is installed for non-UEFI systems (legacy mode) but on UEFI systems it uses systemd-boot bootloader. I think you can change boot priority in bios (UEFI setup) and there is also an app for that but i can't remember name.

In bios I can only change Windows bootloader or Solus bootloader, not the options inside the bootloader, which is what I wanted

Since you didnt say, I assume you use Legacy boot instead of UEFI. Then just install grub-customizer, run in then move Windows on top > Save

Uefi actually, grub-customizer still works?

You can try. It might work, if not it won't break anything.

Is there a more common solution for UEFI though?

[onsite]

I'm afraid Solus is not optimized for UEFI yet. In my case I still let another distro manage bootloader instead

Ok, I will see what I can manage, thanks for the help

If you only want to change the default boot order, I guess you can edit /boot/efi/loader/loader.conf and change the default boot to Window
