Windows 10 won't boot from grub
For historical purposes, I thought i'd mention I bit the bullet and ran
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
from a Windows install medium. This did the trick - Windows now boots via Windows Boot UEFI loader
in grub
(grub
itself was not corrupted at all).

I currently have Linux Mint installed along Windows 10, and both have been working harmoniously together for a good 6 months. This morning, I attempted to select Windows 10 from the grub menu as I do every morning, and was greeted with the error
/EndEntire file path: /ACPI(a0341d0,0)/PCI... error: cannot load image Press any key to continue...
Apparently one of the most common causes of this error is not having secure boot disabled; however I'd already encountered this program the first time I installed Linux and hence secure boot is still disabled. boot-repair has also been suggested, so I installed and ran that. After running
boot-repair
, my grub options had expanded toLinux Min 18 Cinnamon 64-bit Advanced options for Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64-bit Windows UEFI bootmgfw.efi Windows Boot UEFI loader EFI/ubuntu/fwupx64.efi EFI/ubuntu/mmx64.efi Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/nvme0n1p2) System Setup
Selecting either
Windows UEFI bootmgfw.efi
orWindows Boot Manager
yielded the same error as before. However, selectingWindows Boot UEFI loader
resulted in a BSOD-like screen along the lines ofRecovery Your PC/Device needs to be repaired There is an invalid object in the Boot Configuration Data store Error code 0xc0000034
I'm hesitant to proceed with further troubleshooting on my own as i'm rapidly getting out of my depth and don't want to make things worse. Do i need do something along the lines of running
bcdboot
from a Windows Live CD, or is this a problem withgrub
?
