Asked By FuzzyPanda42 On

I recently experienced a sudden crash on my computer, and now my Windows partition has completely vanished from both the Grub menu and the Boot Manager. I'm trying to fix my dual boot setup, but I'm really stuck. Any advice to get my Windows back?

You might want to try running `sudo os-prober` in your terminal. If that returns nothing, open the grub configuration file by using `sudoedit /etc/default/grub`. Make sure to uncomment or add `GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false`. After that, don’t forget to update Grub again using `sudo update-grub`.

First off, check if your Windows partition is still accessible. If it is, you can try fixing it using Linux Mint's boot repair tool or simply run `sudo update-grub` in your terminal. If Windows Boot Manager isn’t automatically detected, you may need to select ‘Boot from file’ in the UEFI boot menu and point it to `/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi` to manually boot into Windows. If that works but you still can't see it in Grub, you might need to set the boot entry by hand.
