Hey all on my desktop PC I used to dual boot Ubuntu and windows but no longer do, however the grub menu always stayed. All of a sudden I’ve updated my windows and now the windows boot option in the bios has just vanished and when I boot it opens the grub command line and I have no idea what to do! Yes I know this isn’t windows support but it seems like no one else in other discords who doesn’t use Linux knows about grub so can someone please help?

little bit confused , are you able to boot into windows or ubuntu . which one works ? which bootloader opens grub or windows ?

#

what was you layout of partition ?

Ubuntu doesn’t exist anymore, I deleted the partition for it a while ago because I had no need for it anymore now I had Linux on laptop

#

Ubuntu was installed on a different drive

#

So I can’t have done that

i see this as a w

jokes aside

#

your parition is likely not gone

#

it's just the boot entry that's gone

#

you can recover it with efibootmgr

#

boot to a linux iso and use efibootmgr from there

Right I’ll give it a go thanks

#

And unfortunately I need windows to play games, as much as I hate it

Idk what solution you’re gonna be able to offer me, they don’t run on Linux, and I’m not gonna give up playing them and other games to switch OS

#

I play a lot of multiplayer games with anti cheat, so almost none of them work

apex works

#

roblox

#

genshin (yes, without patch now)

tho a lot of CoD games don't
Valorant don't
