Windows 10: Alloc Magic is broken

I have windows dual boot with ubuntu 16.04. When I shut down my laptop yesterday from windows, it started updating. Once it finished, I cannot access windows from the grub menu as it gives "Alloc Magic is broken". When I try to boot in directly into windows, it shuts down immediately.


Not sure what to do, but I can still access the ubuntu 16.04 and update-grub does not work.

"magic alloc broken" error after Windows Update

I have Dell Inspiron 7559 Version 1.2.7.

I double boot between Ubuntu and Windows 10. Have been doing it for two years or so.

Last night, Windows did an automatic update and restarted, since then I was not able to boot Windows. Ubuntu is working fine.

When I choose Windows Boot Manager in UEFI Secure Boot, I got "magic alloc broken" error.

I disabled Secure Boot, it didn't show me the error but it just halted until I shut the computer down.

I went with Legacy mode, Dell showed me the error message: "No bootable devices found"

I downloaded Windows 10 and mounted it to my flash disk.

Ran diagnostics and fixes, didn't work.
Restored to earlier version, didn't work.
Reinstalled Windows 10, didn't work.

I don't know what to do know...
