Yes, you can dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 10 from an external secondary drive on a UEFI system using Windows' bootloader instead of Grub2.

For dual booting with Ubuntu, stick to GRUB since the Windows bootloader doesn't support it.

The issue lies with grub chaining, causing it to load the Windows boot manager automatically.

If it supports USB, simply move that option to the top of your boot sequence. Once connected, your system will start from there; otherwise it defaults to the internal drive running Ubuntu. I’m not certain about your current order, but it seems you likely prioritize external media like USB before internal ones. This approach isn’t typical for Linux or Windows dual-boot setups, though macOS/Windows do handle it frequently. It’s common to keep a large USB drive for Windows installation and games that you only use when you plan to boot from it.
