Booting to windows with windows boot manager or bootmgfw.efi

Yesterday I have managed to successfully install and configure Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as a second operating system on my PC.Everything works fine,however there is one thing that confuses me:
In the GRUB,among all other boot options I have:

  1. Windows UEFI bootmgfw.efi.
  2. Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/...)

Essentially both of them successfully boot Windows 10,so my questions are: Are there any differences between this two options in terms of operations or functionality of Windows 10? What are the differences between these options?

This explains the difference quite clearly. If both work, there should be no difference between booting with the .efi file vs. using bootmgr from a user's perspective.
