Luckily it's usually an easy fix if you know your way around the UEFI. Just plop grub back where it needs to be in the boot order.
Although I definitely wish Windows didn't mess with the boot order occassionally.
Also, finally, I dual-boot and I haven't actually had this happen in about a year now. I think maybe Microsoft finally stopped fucking around (with this one thing).
EDIT: Actually, it could be because I'm on Windows 10 and they stopped "Feature Updates" and all I get are security updates now. That could be why they stopped fucking with my boot order.

I can't recall a single feature from any feature update being added.
What users consider "Features" and what Microsoft considers "Features" are wildly different. I'd say that probably played a role in it.
Honestly, the only useful "features" in Windows I've found in the last few years were all provided by a non-standard Microsoft app that isn't easy to find: PowerToys.
PowerShell is nice too, but it's not new enough to be considered a "feature" anymore.
