I fixed this by deleting Windows.

Yeah. This crap was the last straw for me to stop dual booting.

There’s always a virtual machine if you need it for work.

I finally solved this problem in my desktop by having two separate M2 drives, one for Windows and one for Linux. Boot & grub live on the Linux drive and Windows never touches it.

With Linux and Windows on one drive, this is super annoying.

That’s what I did. And after going to all the trouble, I’ve booted into Windows 11 twice in 3 months.

My wife had a kid about a year ago now… before that I had been dual booting win10 on one drive… kubuntu on the other…

I kept win10 for rocket league… When the kiddo popped out. I didn’t have time to play… Anything at all actually.

So I just turned the win10 drive into a storage drive and I don’t miss win10 or rocket league at all.

Any games I want to play I can install via steam and proton and I’m good.

Not that I get to play anything with an 11 month old. Haha

Friends don’t let friends play Rocket League.

Well, ranked, anyway. Only game in 40+ years of gaming that I threw a controller over. Even Ninja Gaiden on NES couldn’t do that to me. lol

Ha, I recently upgraded to an nvme drive from SATA, cloned the drive and then realised I need to move the windows partition all the way to the end to let me expand the Linux partition. Which broke windows. After about 2-3 hours of troubleshooting it was working again. It was around then I realised I hadn’t booted into windows in 2 years!

Dang.
Hope new medical advancements will keep making your life increasingly easier, and perhaps one day even restore your boot partition wheel.
