This didnt happen until I booted into windows just now and couldnt go back, but ive booted windows several times in the past with this setup and never had issues. Linux Mint and Win11 dual booted on Asus Zenbook 14

#

Solutions i find online suggest I make a linux installation media and boot from it as part of the solution but im at my grandparents house and i cant find a flash drive anywhere lol

that DEFINITELY must be turned off. Also a Windows update may have eaten your grub loader for breakfast. common.

#

hence the message in pic.

#
  • if the first thing above doesnt immediately fix it, then get a usb live iso of Mint (any currentish release) and boot it, and run the boot repair program.

Fixed it

#

I made a disc with supergrub2

#

which is a thing that lets you boot an os even if grub is all fucked

#

Booted that and using it i was able to get linux mint to boot

#

Then i used this boot repair program

#
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
#

Did the recommended repair option, then restarted the computer and put ubuntu on top of windows in the BIOS

#

now everythings working again
