Set Bootcamp to Default to MacOS Hello I have a MBP with bootcamp set up to run OSX Mojave and Ubuntu. Currently it defaults to Ubuntu (labeled "Windows" in the selection screen), but I want it to default to OSX. I saw the previous question here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251127976, but the solution requires Windows with the Bootcamp software installed which I clearly don't have. Is there some other way to set the default boot option? Thanks

Startup Disk I’m not sure how to pose this question but I hope it’s understood. I have a mid 2010 Mac Pro with 3 drives (one is SSD with High Sierra) other has El Capitan, other is backup. I booted from High Sierra into El Capitan and now I can’t use startup disk in system preferences to go back because High Sierra on SSD isn’t recognized. so how do I get back to disk named High Sierra SS ? Thanks in advance!

In Bootcamp Control Panel, set your macOS partition as the startup drive.
