Windows 10: Boots into Grub.

Whilst Windows Update was running, my laptop crashed, as i had forgotten to switch the PSU on. Now when I boot the laptop it goes straight into Grub, typing "exit" it then allows Windows to load. Could you please help me to make my machine normal. Thankyou

GRUB loaded error

When I go to boot suse 10.2 with grub, after the bios checking It just displays; "LI." and stops. It just says LI and stops. I now boot with a install disk, then just choose boot from harddrive and it works. Any suggestions?

 

Dual boot not reaching windows, but grub detects it

After you move disks, partitions (eventually add/delete partitions) the principle for fixing boot is always:

1. Fix Windows boot
   
2. Fix GRUB boot
   

in that order.

Boot configuration should be such that Windows must be able to boot alone without the help of any other boot loader/manager!

What does Windows 10/8/7 use for booting with BIOS firmware (and MBR style disk):

1. MBR
   
2. PBR of active partition
   
3. bootmgr on active partition
   
4. BCD on active partition
   

in that order.

A Windows 10 installation/repair USB/DVD can be used to fix boot in this case.

See fix Windows 10/8/7 boot for help on repair steps.

For fixing GRUB you can use a Linux live CD/USB.

Be aware that after a Windows 10 version upgrade/update it possible that Windows will overwrite MBR (overwrite GRUB boot code in MBR)!

Suggestion - use Windows boot manager to dual-boot Windows and Linux.

 

GRUB boot loader on Windows 11 system

I have a system that was previously installed with Ubuntu and now has Windows 11. Unfortunately it seems to still use the GRUB boot loader when booting initially. I've tried repairing the MBR using win11 installation media but this has not had any affect. Any suggestions?
