So I have not booted my windows partition for fear that it would break my boot.
Is there a way to circumvent this before the bug hits my system yet?
Did windows ever fix that?
I am this close to just deleting the entire partition and adding it to my Linux partition as a data and or log drive instead
I think (not positive) that if you launch windows from bios it can’t break your boot.
Yeah, the issue was with Windows doing funky things with GRUB during an update. If you use your BIOS to choose your OS (instead of using GRUB) you’re fine.
Even then, the fix is relatively simple in most cases. It’s just running a command in Windows’ Command Prompt, to re-enable GRUB after the update disables it.

Gute Reise!
I don’t have an answer, but this might be the issue if anyone has more info
So… Windows?
I vaguely recall an extra worry a few min because. But my expert is that windows inevitably clobbers the boot loader eventually. So unless it is a laptop (where you are better off with a VM or wsl anyway) just give each os their own disc and use the BIOS for boot order.
sorry to be late, but I’ve been using a dual boot Linux windows for several years, I leave secure boot off.
That’s easily toggled in the bios.
I was worried about this ex nothing, but I’ve had no problem switching back and forth between Linux and windows like normal for weeks now, so I don’t think it’s a problem, especially if secure boot is disabled.
I switched to reFind boot manager and had to run a boot repair on the Windows partition with the Win11 USB installer. But it looks like everything is functioning now.

I think you should ask in the Linux sub to maximize expert advice. It’s fine that you asked here, but there’s more expert opinions there.

The Linux sub, while knowledgeable, would be a bad place to ask this question.
All the OP would get is ridicule still having windows partition.
