Issue with dual booting Q4OS / Windows ?

Hi.  Downloaded and installed Q4OS next to Windows using the .exe program.  Very happy to run Linux natively without losing Windows and without creating a partition for it. 

HOWEVER when I start my computer, the first message I get is:

Failed to open \EFI\DEBIANBOOT\(some strange characters) - Invalid Parameter
Failed to laod image: Invalid Parameter
start_image() returned Invalid Parameter, falling back to default loader

at which point I'm offered the choice between Q4OS and Windows.  Windows boots by default, but booting starts with the big blue Windows logo (four blue squares).  Both Windows and Q4OS work without problem but I would like to know: is all of this normal behaviour ?

Yes, this is normal for certain EFI installs. This warning does not affect the system in any way, so you can use it without any worries. We are working on a fix to dismiss these warnings.
