I was running a dual boot setup with Windows and Ubuntu on my laptop. I came across a command online that supposedly wipes Linux, so I executed the 'sudo rm -rf' command without fully understanding what it would do. Now, my Windows Boot Manager is missing from the boot loader. I've tried to reinstall it, but Windows needs a driver for installation, and Dell only provides .exe drivers. I did run 'bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd', which added Windows Boot Manager back to the boot loader, but it still doesn't function. I initially tried this using the Windows 10 installer, but I also have Windows 11. The Windows 11 installer doesn't have a 'Repair My Computer' option. During the installation, I used Shift + F10 to bring up the console, but the same commands didn't fix the issue. The good news is that all my files are intact since I managed to reinstall Ubuntu and access them.

Honestly, at this point, I might just stick with Linux since it seems to be working. If I can find a reliable method to run .exe files on it, I could just use that as my main setup.
If `bootrec /Rebuildbcd` didn't do the trick, you might want to check out your EFI partition and assign it a letter. Then you could try running `bcdboot` and `bootrec /fixboot` based on a tutorial I found. Here's the link to the video that explains it: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyFWrF3VWoo)!
