I dual boot windows and Linux. I use Windows primarily for light gaming on the weekends.

Somehow, the windows updates have successfully managed to break my grub menu, and my Linux partition is booting into Grub Rescue mode.

Right now tolerating the windows updates, which have been painfully going on for the past 2 hours now. Later, I'll have to deal with fixing my Linux partition boot.

    Microsoft just doesnt care.
    I read many reports like yours this year and after it did hit me i dont dualboot anymore.
    This shit software belongs in a non root kvm !

    Well, that happened twice to me and then I stopped caring about fixing boot each time as I always put laptop to sleep and do not see boot process untill I need to boot into Win.
    If only some games could be ran in Linux without any problems.. :(

    That sucks, however if one has an ssd for windows 10 and one for Linux, would these kind of problems still occur? Does having a BIOS and not UEFI have something to do with it as well?

    @simo002m i dont have the luxury of having two drives on my system to comment on that.

    But for a change, a nifty tool on windows called EasyUEFI, allowed me to recover my Arch Linux's boot entry. All I had to do was create a new boot entry pointing to the file path of my grubx64.efi.

    I know I should be carrying a live USB Linux disk, but EasyUEFI did the trick.
