So I have not booted my windows partition for fear that it would break my boot.
Is there a way to circumvent this before the bug hits my system yet?
Did windows ever fix that?
I am this close to just deleting the entire partition and adding it to my Linux partition as a data and or log drive instead
I think you should ask in the Linux sub to maximize expert advice. It’s fine that you asked here, but there’s more expert opinions there.
The Linux sub, while knowledgeable, would be a bad place to ask this question.
All the OP would get is ridicule still having windows partition.
What you’ve got to realise is that the Linux folks who don’t have Windows any more have literally no idea how to fix this problem because it’s not a problem they’ve ever had to face. Or if they have, it was a very long time ago and for some who realise their knowledge is stale, they decide to cover it up with bullying and a claim of superiority.
Source: Am Linux with very stale Windows knowledge. I do not know the answer to OP’s question. This makes me feel inadequate. I will choose the true superior path of not being an ass about it. (Instead being an ass about those who would be, I guess. Hee-haw.)
sorry to be late, but I’ve been using a dual boot Linux windows for several years, I leave secure boot off.
That’s easily toggled in the bios.
I was worried about this dual boot problem too, but I’ve had no problem switching back and forth between Linux and windows like normal for weeks now, so I don’t think it’s a problem, especially if secure boot is disabled.
