  1. How to repair the bootloader


    After running dual booting Pop!OS, I decide that it wasn't for me. I removed the partitions that it was installed on (windows is still there), and after rebooting, it's stuck in grub rescue.

    I used my windows USB to try automatic repair, nothing. In cmd I ran bootrec /rebuildbcd and it found my installation, but when I try to add to the bootlist, I get "the requested system device cannot be found"

    Any ideas?

  2. How to make Windows 10 bootloader As default bootloader

    If you're using UEFI, you might have to use that to edit.
    Modified from here:
    How to set Windows bootloader as default bootloader?
    To repair your Windows bootloader, if you have a Windows CD

    1. Boot from CD
    2. From title screen, open terminal (the button is usually in bottom left corner)
    3. Execute bootrec /fixmbr

      If this doesn't give desired results, try bootrec /fixboot
