    I’ve heard talks that after each Windows update, you have to restore Grub config.

    Not the case with me. Had dual boot for some time and never had to fix it… 🤷

        I’ve heard rumors or memes about it. Never had to fix grub after Windows update. Maybe it’s the thing of the past and Microsoft simply fixed this behavior.

        But when last time i fixed grub - it was when I renamed disks in Windows, which are actually BTRFS Linux partitions, mounted in Windows using WinBTRFS driver. It somehow changed UUIDs in Linux. This is unrelated, but still wanted to tell 😅

      I’ve had it happen a few times over the years. It probably depends on your drive configuration and it doesn’t happen with every update. But the last time was one too many for me and I kicked windows off my main system.

      This happens to me all the time, any fixes?

      I think it’s because I have Windows and Linux on separate drives.

        What Windows version and edition are you using? Also, your GRUB is installed in BIOS or EFI mode?

        I am on Win11 professional edition I think, EFI mode…
