No grub uefi dual boot menu after Windows 10 update

[Tonny]

Hi

I have not been able to resolve this problem.
After an update from windows 10 the computer boots straight in to windows 10.
Originaly I had windows 10 and manjaro kde.
Both systmes are in the same ssd
a different hard drive containing the swap partition and storage area for windows.
There are two small separate partitions for boot(200mb & 500mb) I dont know if the 500mb was ever used because it is empty, the 200mb has some efi files from manjaro.

I tried mounting the partition and re-generation a grub but it said no uefi on this system.
I know it works because the uefi grub menu was working fine before the windows update.

I tried to follow the "Recover grub after windows update" Manjaro instructions but it mixes bios and uefi instruction and I could not make it work.
I dont know why both boot partitions show vfat.

I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you
Tony

Use this method outlined here.

It is supposed to be simpler (unless manjaro grub.cfg is messed up itself - not in your case)
I'm in the process of (trying to) simplifying the post and (trying to) make it valid in all cases (including bad manjaro grub, uefi and bio-legacy).

Since I'm in the middle of editing that post, I'll write down separately just for your case.
Start here....
####################################################

1. boot up livecd in uefi mode.
2. Do not boot up to live OS, but press ‘c’ at the menu and we’ll get to the grub prompt (grub>).

grub> search.file /etc/manjaro-release  root
grub> configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg

4. When booted

sudo grub-install 
sudo update-grub

Good luck.

[Tonny]

Thank you
I will do it.

[Tonny]

Thank you. That worked great.

much easier than explaining what chroot is and how to use it to fix grub. deserving of bookmark
